I've built an old 2.x something kernel Debian to test an old PCMCIA=20
based driver before re-write. I could not build the Red Hat verson.

Eventually I found a Barak Linux Distro (Like CentOs, basically RedHat)=20
of required vintage. It's not as easy as suggested.

most FOSS is NOT part of any Distro.
