I have an ancient linux that I want to run on a modern linux host.

Run how? In a VM, through a VNC, networked to another machine?

It's an old Caldera with a 2.2 kernel. I want to change the directory to an iso image and mount some device to operate it. Does anyone know the major and minor numbers of anything I need to create with mknod to mount this linux on my RH linux host?

How about this... Run some server (ftp, ssh, whatever) on the Caldera box. Connect with fuse. Mount the computer as a directory. Run a program like k3b to convert it to a DVD image and save it on your RH box. If it doesn't do what you want, at least it'll get you close.
