There are src rpms for available on that site for fedora core 3 and
fedora core 4. What you want is not in centos, and you'd probably be
best off rebuilding from their src.rpms

With all the system mods you seem to be doing, it feels like you're
trying to shoehorn a server distro into very modern/unsupported
hardware? Are you sure you've picked the right distro for the job, or
are you simply trying to locate a larger hammer with which to pound in
screws?
