The trick is finding a mirror that has that version. Figuring out the versions
of packages to go with 1.3.22 will be straightforward if I find a mirror that
has 1.3.22.
Is there any way of "copying" a 1.3.22 distribution from one box to another
box? I know it's not that simple, but is there a list of straightforward
places I'd have to patch to make it work (like registry changes)?
This isn't a path I want to take either, but I have no idea how to debug a
problem like this.
