Hi Brian,
Your in for a lot of trouble. I do not think Red Hat 5.2 is going
to load well on such a modest computer. It is smaller than my old laptop!
To load it you will need a floppy disk version. You need to go back to
slackware 3.4 and only load the bare system. It will be very slow and not
much fun.
Spend a little money and get a new motherboard and 32 meg of ram
and a 4 gig hard drive.
