[H-GEN] RedHat for sparc

I was wondering if anyone has been getting any use out of the sparc
RH4.2 which was donated to Humbug a few months ago?

I'm asking this because I've ended up with an extra copy of sparc RH5.1
which I was thinking of donating.  Only there's not a lot of point if
no-one uses it.  I'd recommend it to the sparc RH4.2 users out there as
the 5.1 kernel is faster.

The only hassle is that this copy can't boot from CD on a sun4c machine
(i.e. SS2, IPC, IPX, etc.), but you can apparently boot just fine with a
sun4m machine.  It was because of this problem that I have been shipped
another copy of sparc RH5.1 free of charge.  :o)  Anyway, the problem
isn't really a big deal since you can still do floppy or tftp boots
without any dramas at all.

So, is there any interest?
