What exactly is the problem?
The motherboard, audio and video chipsets have all changed significantly since 6.2 came out.
I would suggest using some older hardware.

We are having problems installing RH 6.2 on a new Dell PC.
It almost looks like the PC hardware is newer than what is supported by RH 6.2 (email attached below). The h/w is a Dell Optiplex with plain IDE (no scsi).
Has anyone seen this before?
Help and advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I finally tried something that you probably didn't try. There is a "text" mode that you can choose initially that uses a older style of interface. When I went through the installation process with this it eventually reported "Exception occurred" and showed a traceback. The deepest levels of this seemed to be: todo.getCompsList() in file package.py getCompsList in file todo.py line 467 I am guessing that "py" indicates a "python" script file (yet another scripting language).
It seems that the more GUI approaches were failing without any indication of this crash.
I tried some variants, and this error always occured.
This could indicate a HW incompatibility between "python" and the CPU of the machine (??).
