Thanks for the help.
Your info was what i needed.
One item I forgot about is the errata/updates. Over the three year life
of that distribution, there were numerous updates. On the last day it was
supported, there were 156 packages on the updates.redhat.com server. You
_may_ be able to find some, but they'll likely do you no good because
Red Hat changed the package manager _twice_ (2.5.5-5.2 out of box,
3.0.2-5.x as the first, and 3.0.5-9.5x as the final). The problem is that
the last version is needed for some updates, but the out-of-box version
doesn't know how to install the last version - you needed that intermediate
step, along with a database update and something else I've forgotten over
the years.
