<DIV>Hi, Jason</DIV> <DIV>Well, I wish the maintainer would bring them back to where they were. As long as Mandrake has a place on the mirror, I see no reason why Red Hat should have been removed at all! As far as I'm concerned I think they both should have been given a permanent place at UB. They where there all this time, and I see no reason why either one of them should have been removed. You can tell the maintainer that I would like him to please give them both a permanent place at UB. It would behoove UB to maintain both Red Hat and Mandrake for the common good of the internet community.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thank you, Ron Maggio<BR><BR><B><I>Jason Lasker <lasker@eng.buffalo.edu></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2769" name=GENERATOR> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=200541615-08122005><FONT face=Arial

I have been to UB's ftp site, and I see they have dropped their archive of Red Hat, but they still archive Mandrake with all (that I know of) their patches and upd
ates.
Which seams very strange to me that they kept the Mandrake archive but dumped Red Hat's:( </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now for the reason why I wanted Red Hat 7.2 I'm not as knowledgeable as the rest of you, but if you would look at the systems requirements in the readme file or for that matter on the box you will notice not only drive space and ram needed to run it, you'll also will notice the Video cards supported as well. Since most of my equipment is legacy (I'm not rolling in money) I would like to install something that would be compatible with my old junk equipment, and able to run the first time I boot up!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is what I have have for an install at this time.</DIV> <DIV>IBM IntelliStation 6899-18U</DIV> <DIV>Pentium Pro 200MHz dual processor</DIV> <DIV>256mb EDO ECC ram</DIV> <DIV>Gainward/CardExpert PCI (this system has no AGP)</DIV> <DIV>TXT2 M64 32mb Video Ram</DIV> <DIV>I tried newer distro's that I thought w

easy to install, but I do not have a sufficient video card to drive the GUI. I'm looking for something rather easy to install, and would work with my equipment. If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks, Ron:)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <HR SIZE=1> <B>Yahoo!
