Installing IBM Installation Manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation v6.5.

A trial version of WebSphere Application Server for Linux systems is available on the Linux Software Evaluation Kit (SEK), a set of four DVDs containing evaluation products from IBM WebSphere, IBM Information Management®, Lotus®, Rational®, and Tivoli® that enable you to install and configure IBM middleware and start building and deploying. In this case, the IBM Installation Manager version 1.6.2 will be installed on the C: folder in the indicated folder structure. Press the Install button to complete the local installation of the IBM Installation Manager.

The WAS v8 installation GUI has been changed since WAS v7.
A major benefit is that IIM provides a common installation interface for many products

Prior to the WAS 8 release, each OS version of WAS required separate downloads.
Using a repository system now saves many hours of download and also disk space and simplifies the management of different installation packages.
