Is there a reason you even need to use the CD-Rom? Why not just boot
off a floppy and do an install via FTP over the network? I've actually
installed RH6.1 on a Sparc IPX and a Sparc 2 using FTP (because they
don't have internal CD-roms and my external CD-roms are plugged into
machines that can't be powered down).
It goes quickly enough, besides most of those old boxes are so slow
that you won't be able to tell whether it's the connection that's
slowing it down :-)
