Yes, you made some very good points in both your replies.  I will 
semi-aggregate them in this response.  CentOS has not removed the 
/etc/redhat-release file :-)  I wonder how many other instances they 
are allowed to use "redhat"!  Also, yes, I made bit-for-bit copies 
when I posted them.  I presume there was some other benefit for me 
buying the boxed versions, rather than downloading the ISOs.  I think 
the main thing was the phone support serial number for my friend, but 
I do not recall now.  Maybe all the ganja has gone to my head recently
