yum setup on Redhat 9?

k3who · 02-15-2007, 08:35 AM

Hello... I just installed RH9 on one of my older computers. I haven't used a redhat or fedora distro in a few years so I'm a little rusty. Are there any current repositories for RH9 anymore? What info I've found from google seems to be out of date since every time I use yum I get errors such as "server not found" etc. Anyway, could someone point me to a current walkthrough or show me how to get yum set up properly for RH9.

fedoralegacy.org is the closest you'll get, but even they are pulling the plug now...

Why use Redhat 9 ?- it is so out of date it is no longer worth the effort. Unless you have some specific applications that require RH9 there is simply no point in using it.

How old are your computers - ie what are the specs?

If they are very old, then I suggest something like Damn Small Linux, or a minimal install of Slackware or Debian or even Xubuntu.
