It seems that the older versions that are no longer supported have 
generally speaking been removed for download. So I guess you would have 
to use the latest supported version, or find the version you need 
somewhere. I have some old .iso images I think.

It would be quite handy to know what the oldest platform you need to 
support is, then you can "simply" get that distribution.

Anyway for redhat, that appears to be version 4.

Since previous versions are no longer supported, then none *should* 
really be using those versions as there are no security updates any more.

There goes the logic anyway.

I will have a look for an older .iso image that may be useful. What you 
don't want to do is download something, which is too new a glibc
