hold down F4 on graphical console or 4 on serial console while system boots having only install media inserted. (key must be pressed when machine tests keyboard).<br />
better check out 4.3.3 - it is still not outdated.

but 4.3.3 usually runs applications for 4.2.1 and 4.1.5 except some graphical i do not know of<br />
5L has different licence manager, but apss who do not use that sometimes run with proper compatibility packages even in 64bit+JFS2 mode<br />
some apps are written in assembly for old cpu, instal bos.adt.samples and check out emstat to see if particular app uses emulated instructions, if it uses, it may be too slow to use<br />
no need to stick with old OS

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
