Not to nit-pick, Mike, but I tried to install RedHat on some spare F50's 
and F40's at work, and I couldn't get it to go. The last release I could 
find was like 7.1(?), and the docs were... miserable. I'd still love to 
put RedHat linux on these boxes. Will version 9 be available on these 
sorts of machines? (I couldn't even definitively determine from all the 
documentation I picked through if they were `p' or `i' machines.) I 
mean, I saw that you said that these packages were in Rawhide, but 
that's a long way from an install iso, which *I* certainly will need. 
I'm still lost when it comes to those machines' bootstrap process.

Thanks,
