If you're looking for some really old RedHat ISO's, try the RedHat archives:

ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/

The allowed users via ftp is fairly low, so it'll be, shall we say,
challenging to get in.  But once you are, you should have access to all
distros as old as redhat 1.0.  Not sure if they still have the ISO's there,
but I was there a few days ago and was downloading some rpms for redhat 7.2
