I even tried getting the source and compiling but there were some module
discripancies and dependance break and so, I didn't bother to install.
Instead I switched back to RH5.2 since the machine I was setting up was a
production one.

why they didn't give a full CD original ftp copy. In any case, RH6 is
buggy and hence it doesn't matter much to production environments.

I remember sucking down the full RH6 distro from rufus overnight on a 64K
