If you succeed let me know. I have a couple of P90 laptops with 24MB
of memory that won't boot from CDs that I currently have RH 6.2 on
and would upgrade to something more recent if I could.

I only use them once a year so I am not willing to invest a lot of time
in helping. RH 6.2 works well enough for what I use them for.
