I want to download an OS. I have two options:

  • either downloading ISO file directly via remote link.

    Or

  • Downloading RPM package via BitTorrent

I want to download via BitTorrent. However, I want to get an ISO file .

The issue is how to convert this RPM package to ISO image file.

    You can download Ubuntu ISO over a torrent from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads RPM = Redhat = off topic. And you can not get an OS in RPM format?! Redhat provides ISOs (though these seem to be on not so legal websites :)) – Rinzwind Mar 18 '14 at 10:29
  • it is another OS. – Abdennour TOUMI Mar 18 '14 at 10:31

    Which one? I find giving as much information on these forums is better as there might actually be a better way to do what you are wanting to do. – superbriggs Mar 18 '14 at 10:44

In Ubuntu, we don"t use RPM (RedHat) packages but DEB (Debian) packages.

If you have an ISO file, you have thus a CD-ROM image you can use to install the OS on a PC where the OS is not yet installed. If you have packages (one package = one software, one OS is composed of a multitude of packages), you need at least to have an running installation of the OS to which these packages belong to proceed further.
