Running Red Hat Linux 7.2 (Enigma, 2001) on a Virtual Machine

Final post related to old Red Hat ditros running on Virtual Machines. Red Hat 7.2 (Enigma, 2001) running on kernel 2.4.x . I couldn't get X running right away, so I decided to take a shot at trying to compiling and installing VMWare Tools, and it actually worked!

Update: I ended up posting two more versions: Red Hat Linux 9 and Fedora Core Linux 1.

Red Hat Linux 7.2 brings a much more polished GUI, plus it has a 2-disc install.

Another shot for the installer.

Gnome 1.4 on Red Hat Linux 7.2. A couple of new features introduced between 6.1 and 7.2 were: grub as the boot loader and ext3 file system.

Not perfect yet, but Google is looking much better on Mozilla 0.9.2.1.
