I want to run RHEL 8.2 in a bash (no UI) terminal under Windows 10 Pro (2004) that comes with WSL2

1. Is there a list of steps anywhere, that would help me download what I need, and get RHEL 8.2 running under WSL2?
2. What would I need to download? (need direct URL - there are so many options for RHEL 8.2 , I am confused)
3. What steps would I need to take to get this running locally on my Windows 10 machine?

Notes:
==> I don't want to run any existing RHEL available in the Windows store, I want to roll my own (not that it's available in the Windows Store), but it should be, are you listening Redhat?

==> I don't want to run RHEL 8.2 under VirtualBox or any other virtualization technology, just WSL2

If anyone at Redhat, has experience with this, and has *actually* done this with RHEL 8.2 and WSL2 and has it working swimingly, please reply, would love to get this up and running for a higher level of productivity, scripting and automation on my Windows dev box.
