I have several old Linux installation media "in stock" (to coin a phrase ... ), including some old Red Hats. I will try (I hope) to dig them out (including at least one very old laptop), provided I can solve the infinite recursion problem -- viz:
Like Ted I appear to have a recursion problem. That plus a crap memory. I know I have a load of old distros around, but the only firm copies of Redhat I can lay my hands on are 5.2, 8.0 and 9.0. I have also found some "Linux rough cuts" (for SPARC, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, MIPS, M68K) from Redhat dating from the late 90s, plus a bunch of openbsd, netbsd and freebsd disks of various vintages - oh and solaris 2.6 (and perhaps 2.3 somewhere, mutters into beard....).
I know I had a clear out a while back, but I'm a bit of a hoarder and I cannot believe I would have thrown out all my old distros. I'll carry on delving. Whatever I come up with, I'll try to make it to the 10th bash. It would be good to put some faces to names.
