6.0 is not a good idea since the kernel has remotely-exploitable security holes. You'd be responsbile for keeping it up to date with all the packages you've got installed since Red Hat only provides fixes for 6.2 and later. An up to date 6.2 system wouldn't too bad a place to start, but I don't know if 6.2 was ever supported on a 386. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
