OT - legacy distros

Greetings:

	I support one older site with a Caldera Linux installation.  I need
to add a JRE for some Java, but I have dependency issues - 5 to be exact.
One of them is a glibc that I suspect is a show stopper.  But as you know,
Caldera is the dreaded SCO Group, and they have dropped any availability of
Linux code from their website.

	I'm not their hardware and O/S vendor, and I can't quickly make the
switch on this older hardware to RHEL, which would be my preference.  So I
was hoping to find these RPM's elsewhere.  This is a 2.2.14 kernel.  My
dependencies are:

        glibc >= 2.1.2-11 is needed by j2re-1.4.2_08-fcs
        sh-utils >= 2.0-1 is needed by j2re-1.4.2_08-fcs
        fileutils >= 4.0-8 is needed by j2re-1.4.2_08-fcs
        gawk >= 3.0.4-1 is needed by j2re-1.4.2_08-fcs
        textutils >= 2.0-2 is needed by j2re-1.4.2_08-fcs

Does anyone know the best way to find them?  I am also not sure of the exact
file name syntax to look for these packages.  Thanks in advance.
