Agreed. If the hardware is old and won't take a modern distribution, RedHat
7.3 is still available at www.fedoralegacy.org, along with occasional
security updates.
 

Definitely save those files in another location, along with the old
XF86Config.bak backup file. (I believe that's its name, generated by
Xconfiguratior.) RedHat 6.x also had another tool if you needed to get more
into the details of things, called "xf86config", which may be available for
you, and the mouse could be set with "mouseconfig" if I remember the tools
correctly.

Those have since been replaced with much better, more integrated tools like
"system-config-display" and "system-config-mouse" that do much better jobs
of supporting all the different hardware.
 

I've been poking at FC 4.90, the test release. It's very bleeding edge and
not ready for testing except for masochists who are happy to pay for their
RedHat releases by writing the workarounds and sending them in.

I think I can see your mistake.
 

Boot with Windows install disk or recovery floppy, do FDISK/MBR,
re-install Windows 98.

Well, yes. But having four year old SCSI drives is often just a burden, when
you can replace them at 2 or 3 years with much larger, less expensive drives
running on a new server that draws less power and cooling. Such things
matter in both home use and industrial scale. And since the most common
cause of file loss is user error, not disk failure (in my experience),
having spare local disk for nightly mirrors is really useful.
 

For the same size drive, not much less. But for the same money in SATA, you
can get a *MUCH* larger drive.I can get a decent 300 Gig SATA for $250 off
the shelf. I can get a decent 300 Gig SCSI for about $800 off the shelf.
