Fedora Core 3

[Rob501]

Hi,
Before anything, I need to use Fedora Core 3, so please don't tell me to upgrade to a more recent version. I need to install grub2 on my system, but I can't find it anywhere. When I try to install anything using yum, I get a message telling me that the url for the base repo cannot be found. I've been searching through the internet and I read somewhere that Fedora Core 3 it's not supported anymore, so it's not a surprise to found that the repo is down. Finally I tried to download the rpm file to install it manually, but all I got is for Fedora 16+ (I don't know if it's valid for Fedora Core 3, I guess it's not, because it says "Fedora 16" (or 17 or 18) in the "Distribution" field). Then I'm wondering, is it really not possible to install grub2 on Fedora Core 3? Do I really need to upgrade? Could it be a VirtualBox problem?
I'm really desperate because it's for an University work, and I really can't use another OS.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

PS: Sorry if my english is bad, I'm a little rusty.

I'm afraid this has nothing to do with VirtualBox. Retired OSes would need to be addressed by the Distro. I know some have archives for older versions and Fedora might as well but for that you would need to ask Fedora Forums.

You can try google and put this "fedora core 3 archive" (sans quotes) in as a search. I also don't know how the older distro would deal with the newer grub as I am not sure how it would handle the dependencies, but good luck.

Ok, thanks. I'll try it out in Fedora Forums. I wasn't sure if it had something to do with Vbox, because I think it's very strange that my work requires to install something impossible in an old system like FC3. Thanks again.
