I have a Fedora 2 linux computer that I need to get some information off of.
The problem is that it is a P133 with 128 MB of RAM and I can't get it to
boot into linux anymore. I have tried some of the most popular live CDs
(Knoppix, Ubuntu, and Fedora live) and can't get anything working. Any
ideas? I am building a replacement box and want to get at some of the config
files that I can't find anymore.

Is the drive or system damaged?

If it's the system, not the drive, that doesn't boot ... you might be
able to plug the existing FC2 hard drive into the new system and boot
from there. Linux is very nice about adapting to new hardware.
