Could you run 2.2.x in a virtual machine under VMWARE?  I have
vmware on one of my boxes, and I intended to try creating a
2.2.8 system on it sometime.  It probably would not perform
great, but it'd be good enough to do a few simple compiles on.
I also still have cd's for 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 if you'd want me to
try that.

[but I probably won't have time to try this until the weekend]
