Of course, that would also mean we'd have to update that non-PAE kernel as part of that repository. If people have a clear need for this (and there is at least one committed to support this) do speak up. It might be the beginning of something beautiful...
Yes, I do have a clear need for this. My company is specialized in providing Linux solutions for professionals (mostly small town halls, schools, public libraries). From time to time, I give one of the various consumer grade distros a spin, but I always seem to come back to some RHEL clone on desktops as well as on servers.
More often than not, I have to perform installs on hardware that's quite old, if not completely outdated. The sort of dinosaur hardware that nothing - short of a meteor strike - can kill. CentOS 5 is still churning away on one of my client's PIII-500 with 128 MB RAM (recently beefed up to 256 MB). Of course, most of the time, folks ask for decent hardware. But I like to still be able to install a decent system on older hardware.
