Well... this is a "RedHat" mailing list... hehe

I'm using a RedHat 7.2 box with a recompiled kernel in a Pentium 233MMX
and it was working well. But i had to recompile the kernel with many
customized options for best performance with this machine.
If you don't want to recompile the kernel, try to use a previous version
of the RedHat, like the 6.2 (kernel 2.2).

Have RH9 installed on a P120 with 198MB RAM and a 8MB video.

   

 It's not hard I've got a laptop P /w 64M of memory running RH9.  I 
even run X on it sometimes.  My .xinitrc spawns an xterm, and I run 
either abiword or galeon.   The install works just fine in text mode.   
If you really want to run X on an older system try running blackbox, or 
evilwm.
