Maybe, maybe not. My first attempt was to boot into the Windows XP
partition and download an older RPM there. When I rebooted back into
Linux I found that I couldn't mount the Windows (FAT32) partition
because modprobe kept segfaulting. A *LOT* of functionality in the
Fedora/Redhat kernels is in modules. I'm not even sure that you could
mount a CDROM or a floppy.
