There are over 50 update rpms for RH5.1, and they really make a big
difference - it's worth it.
Choose a Redhat mirror from http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html
You don't need every XFree86 rpm of course.
And the Netscape rpm's are old and have the low-security encryption,
so you might want your Netscape 4.5 directly from www.Netscape.com
so you can get the domestic security version.
