To argue for a separate README.RHEL3.txt file, I would note that there's a lot of stuff for RHEL3 (most of which is for either IA32 or IA64), with no reason to clog up the normal release notes. A note in the release notes to also look at this README is fair comment.
The README.RHEL3.txt file still needs a wee bit of wordsmithing; I'll post some comments 1st thing tomorrow morning. -- David N.
