[Luna] trying to install red hat on a used computer, and having problems

[nox]

Ok, sorry to jump into this so late, but some sanity checking is needed at 
this point.

Red Hat 5.2 is OLD OLD OLD.  2.2.x kernel

Red Hat 7.2 is also OLD OLD OLD. 2.4.9-x kernel.
(This is the release RHEL 2.1 was based on).

F8 and F9 are 2.6.x kernels. There's an extremely slim chance that 
anything you develop on an F8 of F9 machine will back port, but the odds 
are highly stacked against you. Personal opinion is that F9 is not stable 
enough to run. I'm still on F8 because the F9 trees are too buggy to make 
me a happy frood.

I'm pretty sure I can get hold of 5.2 media, but you're on your own for 
installing and supporting it as We (meaning Red Hat) discontinued support 
for it long ago.

Let me pull it from the vault and I'll email you privately with a url.

Sound like a plan?
