For another, at least in RH8 and RH9, the installer wouldn't boot on some 486's. I have an old 486 firewall running RH7.3, but I would like to upgrade it to run the same system my other machines are running. It doesn't look like RULE has anything packaged up yet. If what they already have will work, it would be nice to have a step by step HOWTO. I do need to do a network install, as this machine does not have a CD-ROM.
