I have seen many posts by you, where you ask questions how to get things to work in way outdated versions of different distros.
As already said, please don't use those outdated versions, newer hardware is unsupported, you will get no security fixes, and it can be really difficult to get newer software running on these systems.
If you have old hardware, and therefore think, you should use old software, you are wrong.
There are several distros that are especially made for older hardware, like antiX, wattOS or the upcoming ConnochaetOS. And there are some of the bigger distros, like Debian and Slackware, that can easily be fitted too older hardware, and all of them come with newer software-versions and security-fixes.

you posted on 11-22 that you were using the very dead suse 8.2
now the VERY VERY DEAD fedora 8


PLEASE use a CURRENT and SUPPORTED distro
opensuse 11.3 ,fedora 14,CentOS 5.5 - the free community distros ,in the red hat loose knit family .

ps if you do have old hardware
CentOS 5.5 runs just fine on my 9-10 year old dell computer ( p4 ,1 gig ram(256 from dell) , nvidia gforce2 mx400 )
Arch [ testing only]( using a old kernel& xorg1.7 works on a 10 year old dell computer )

Centos5 also runs fine on a 1ghz PIII with 512MB ram. The hardware requirements of Fedora have not changed significantly since FC4. Since RHEL/Centos5 was based on FC6, the hardware requirements are the same. As RHEL6(and hopefull Centos6 soon) was based on F12(?) its hardware requirements will also be the same. In other words Centos6 should run fine on a PIII with 512 ram.

the only issue with fedora on old hardware is the graphics card
some old ones are no longer supported ( like my geforce2 ) so using them with xorg 1.8 / 7.6 might not work .

Rpmfusion still lists a nvidia 96XX and 173xx driver, so I beleive one could still use it on a geforce2 carded system.
