Older RPMs

Hi,

Will Older Red Hat RPMs (Such as those needed by Word Perfect) work with Fedora Core 2 ??

Thanks,
Digger

I have used older RPMS on FC2 without problem. I can't say every one will work however. There are many changes in FC2 that are not in older RH distros

Yeah, every package I've tried past Redhat 7 works perfect, no issues at all.
