This all sounds fairly old (although to be fair, I haven't got the
RiscDisc 3, so I don't know how old). I got my system entirely from

ftp.ph.kcl.ac.uk/pub/acorn/RiscBSD/1.3-alpha

and everything seems to work really well.  (However, it does have the
disadvantage of taking some time to download.)

The RedHat sets would be (presumably) from ArmLinux.  As far as I'm aware
this won't work at all.  The best place to get up to date sets is probably
the ftp site, but if your whole system is quite old then just updating the
X sets would probably cause problems (i.e. knacker everything...)

Personally, I'd recommend (and you're really /not/ going to like this)
downloading and installing a complete 1.3alpha system from scratch.  (It
has to be said that the 1.3 install procedure couldn't be easier :-)

Have fun,

David.
