Hi there, you will need a time machine, first of all... all support for Red Hat 6.2 ended in 2003. :(

To answer your general "how to mount an ISO" question, here are a couple of helpful links:

It is a waste of time to try and install Red Hat 6.2. It is completely obsolete, not supported in any way.

Go to http://redhat.com and purchase the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5. Your purchase includes excellent documentation and technical support. Ubuntu Forums is maybe not the best place to get Red Hat support. But if you want to use Ubuntu instead, I am happy to help you as best I can. :)

If you like pain (and who doesn't) and you want to see what the world was like before wheels, give 6.2 a shot.

Burn the ISO to a CD and plop into a machine. Gives us a running account of your problems. I remember 6.2. It's not a bad distro for older hardware.
