Hi,

I'm looking for a Redhat 6.0 i386 ISO.  I haven't been able to find one
anywhere - yes, I know it's very old.

I'm trying to install linux on an SGI 320, and this is the distribution
recommended in the walkthrough
(http://oss.sgi.com/www.linux.sgi.com/intel/visws/)

Any help would be appreciated!

You should be able to install a modern distribution on that box. If RH6
supported it then more modern distros should work also. If I were you I'd
try FC6 and see if that works. If it doesn't then try CentOS 3.x which is
RHEL 3. RHEL 3 uses the 2.4 kernel instead of the modern 2.6 kernel.

Thanks anyway, but all of those links are dead.

I was able to get 6.2 from ftp://archive.download.redhat.com, but it's
not working for me either on the SGI box.

Hi Scott,

Thanks but no go - the directory for 6.0 is empty.

Thanks.  I'll give CentOS a try, but I think the problem was more with
the proprietary hardware then with the OS.  Part of the problem is the
SGI 320 can't boot from CD or from normal floppy boot disks.

I have the boxed set of Redhat 6.0 at home. If you /absolutely/ need 6.0
and not a more recent release, I can make a copy of the CD and mail it.

What is an SGI 320? SGI machines were MIPS based for a long time. If that
box has a MIPS instead of an X86 then you aren't going to be able to use a
standard distro.

This is pitiful. First you give him that standard misadvice and now it turns
 out
you're not sure it will work after all and didn't know what system he was us
ing.
He has evidence and already knows that RH 6.0 will work. I also have a boxed
 set
with manuals and it's too bad he doesn't live a little closer, but my websit
e
can't hold files the size of that iso for him to download.
