The short answer is yes.

The longer answer requires more information. In particular, we
need to know what kind of drive you have, and in particular what
the parallel port adapter chip is.

Go to http://www.torque.net/parport and see if you can find any
clues about the device you have. If it is supported by the PARIDE
drivers, it would be possible to make a boot disk for your RedHat CD.

Of course, you'll have to get somebody to help you build the boot disk.
