One additional problem that the OP will probably encounter is that there is no Red Hat provided kernel package on the install media that will run on a i486 machine. (With the possible exception of the kernel-BOOT package, and even that won't run on anything less than a 486DX, as the BOOT kernel is configured with CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION not set). Getting the proper version of glibc installed is all well and good, but if the kernel can't boot, glibc won't matter. ;) - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+nfr3n/07WoAb/SsRAn1iAJ9grS4uo3gpubKpgzdFUAnbsjQXJQCfcWad FKY8iGiLvMFaak/UnsWTiwk= =aqp7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
