Care to elaborate on this? I haven't seen any anaconda code that looks for bios dates or anything like that. I've put CentOS4 on some pretty old hardware, and when you're just running servers you can run a pretty light CentOS4 (RHEL4). > On the other hand, RH7.3 is stable but does > need to support more modern apps.

This is WAY beyond the scope of Fedora Legacy. What you also fail to realize is that by keeping applications current, you basically get to the point that CentOS4 or FC3/4 is, and need the same system requirements to run it. RHL7.3 runs on old hardware because it is old software. If we make it new software, guess what happens.... -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
