Hi guys, I have a question regarding an older version of Linux Redhat: version 6.1. I couldn't find the ISO for it anywhere on the web, but I did find the contents of the CD from ftp.redhat.com. How can I create the bootable CDs if I don't have the ISO, and all I have are the CD contents? Thanks.

I can't find 6.1, but I found the 6.2 iso here: ftp://ftp.dulug.duke.edu/pub/redhat/linux/6.2/en/iso/i386 Why so old a version? Is it because it only takes up one cd? If so, you may want to look at knoppix. It is much newer, takes up and boots from one cd.

I've got redhat 6.1 somewhere if you want it...?

Thanks guys. hwood: The old version is cuz I have a legacy device and it's driver was compiled for the kernel version 2.2.14 which I believe is Redhat 6.1. I don't have the source code for the driver, otherwise I would have compiled it on any version of redhat I wanted. 3Dave: Is your version 6.1 updated and is the installation bug free? I'm using a fairly new system (motherboard/cpu), will this pose any problems with the installation? Where can I get it from you? Hisham

Guys, Installing redhat (or getting hold of it at least) has made me sleepless for the past 3 nights! I found the ISOs for both 6.1 and 6.2. But here's the thing, they both fail during installation: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comp.sys" line 46 in __getitem__ return self.packages[item] KeyError: basesystem Can you guys help me out? I'm running this on a Celeron machine with an Intel 845 chipset. I went to updates.redhat.com and found an /images folder with updated *.img files. I used rawrite.exe to move the image to a floppy, booted with the floppy and specified the CDROM as the source of my installation files. Still faced the same problem. Do I have to update the ISO (i.e. CD contents)? Help.. Hisham

How about installing a newer distro (it may be that v6.1 doesn't like your newer 845 chipset) and then downloading and compiling the linux kernel 2.2.14 from kernel.org (ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.14.tar.bz2) Did you check the md5sums of the ISOs you downloaded? My version of RH 6.1 was downloaded on release and installed fine when I tried it. I could post it to you but if you alread have the ISOs there is probably no point.
