I'm on a fairly old RHEL box, when I "cat /proc/version", I get the following: Linux version 2.4.21-4.ELsmp (bhcompile at daffy.perf.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-20)) At this stage, I guess I don't have 'yum', so where exactly do I get the individual RPMs? I went to DAG to find some stuff I needed, but some of the rpms at http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages for RHEL 3 were not available.

You know, that paid support thing and all. I would hesitate to install random software from where-ever on a box like that and hear "Sorry Mac, your support contract is now wastepaper and you're out that wad of cash.

If you don't have a working RHN subscription for that host then you won't get any updates as they are not available anywhere outside of Redhat. If you can't get any updates then I would strongly recommend you reinstall with CentOS. -tgc
