[ale] Looking for a VERY old Fedora VM

[Lightner, Jeff]

During a brief check I saw an old post where someone had gone through the trouble of setting up FC1 through F11 info.  (He later abandoned it because many of the links he’d posted no longer worked.)

The reason I mention it was there was a comment in it that said FC2 required you to define repositories in yum.conf itself whereas all later version used the repos.d/* setup.   Are you using yum.conf to define the repositories directly?

  I think I found a found mirror, now it's just a matter of getting Yum to see it.

You'll have to set the repos manually to the ancient archives. Might not work if the repo file removed.

The new box has all of the ancient, broken ciphers disabled or removed. You may need to use a much newer version or really compromise the security of the new box with weakened ciphers or an older sshd. Grab the src.rpm and rpmbuild -bb

  I found a FC2 DVD download on the redhat site.  That works, I just can't get it updated via Yum (having fun with repos) and it won't SSH to my host box because of incompatible ciphers...

I don’t have that but I do have a full set of Fedora Core 4 CDs I burned in 2005.

The next set I have after that is FC6.

This was the i386 stuff rather than x86_64.

  So I need a Fedora Core 2 VM as I have a piece of hardware that has drivers that are only going to work on that kernel combo.  I'm trying to install the image into the VM but I'm having fun getting yum, compilers, etc working.  Anyone happen to have an old one, somewhat clean, preferably with a working Yum repo configured I could grab a copy of?
