    Ok, so I looked at both of those, but since I don't have wget or yum, neither work...

    Any tips on installing it from the setup dvd?

    You may need to spend some time browsing the DVD. I'm
    not sure where the RPMs are, but once you find the right
    directory, just install the packages with the RPM command.

    just put the dvd in, cd to wherever it mounted (you can check with `mount` and looking at the output) and run
    `find ./ | grep rpm | egrep "wget|yum"`

    figure out which you need, and run

    rpm -ivh --aid wget*.rpm

    or whatever the package name is in that directory.
