[ale] Looking for a VERY old Fedora VM

[Robert L. Harris]

   Yeah, it was a matter of finding a valid repo, which I did on
fedoraproject.org.  Since I can't SCP the driver source from my laptop due
to ciphers, I threw the .zip up on my http server and just wget the files.
Nice and simple.  Progress is being made,  M$ can suck their XP license.
