Which he can't access because RC2 won't install for him.

Pay attention.  8-) 8-).

Basically, he needs to get to building RC2 on a machine that
can't install RC2.

I've already mentioned using disk #2 (not sure if it exists for RC2),
and/or unpacking the tar archives for the source parts manually from
disk #1.  It's preferrable to be able to do this from a CVS tree,
though, since there might be a fix in the source tree since the
RC2 was cut, which will fix his problem.  Otherwise, he has to
reinvent it.
