HELP PLEASE !!!!

no i want red hat 6.2

no i want red hat 6.2
No you don't.

It is unsafe to run stale, deprecated, unmaintained and unsupported releases. Red Hat Linux ended support in 2004 for all Red Hat Linux releases (not RHEL). Next to that the RHL 6 series are about the WORST of them all. There are no releases of ANY distro that have more exploits floating around. If you are someone who deals with running legacy applications and keep deprecated releases (relatively) safe to use then fixing this problem would be trivial to you. Obviously you don't know that and you don't know how to fix things, which means I'm just gonna spell it out for you: you do not want RHL 6.n. So stop wasting time.

If you like what RHL provided then you could run Fedora Core.
Else check out the many "choose a distro" threads here.

I have a couple of computer with less specs than your i.e. 500mhz AMD CPUs. I installed CentOS 4.x on one of them and the other has Debian Etch. Both are modern distros and they work fine on the hardware. You should be able to install a modern distro on your hardware and it should work fine.

but i just want it to try out
i don't care its unsafe, i don't go store personal info on it.
please help me someone, does someone knows how to get redhat linux 6.2 on a pclinuxos bootloader.
after all i was planning to install a new version to
but it bugs me that my bootloader of pclinuxos can't find red hat linux 6.2
PLEASE HELP !!!

try reinstalling your grub. go to the rescue mode with your elite redhat 6.2 cd and type grub-install /dev/hda --> your hdd.

he says : grub: command not found
i tried the commands,:
grub-install/dev/hdc
grub install/dev/hdc
grub: install/dev/hdc

do you now something else


before going on i wanna thank everyone who tried to help me with this

Redhat 6.x did not use grub. The boot loader should be LILO.

"red hat 6 unleashed" is a book which comes with install disks, u can probably buy on amazon.

"rH unleashed" covers config of lilo.

imbillic, this was an 11 year old thread that you necroed. Most of the participants probably aren't on here any more.

It's probably best to contribute to current threads rather than older ones, particularly ones this old.
