[ale] RH6.2 and Sparc

[Patrick]

Hmmm, this is interesting... Have you tired installing 6.1?  And maybe
upgrading the packages to 6.2 afterwards?  I installed 6.1 on a Sparc 2
without a hitch!  Burnt the iso, booted from CD and went straight into the
GUI install.
I believe I still have the iso around somewhere.
