Hi,
I don't think simply text editing would do it for you. If you don't have RedHat support to allow you to get the latest updates you may think of downloading and installing Oracle Linux. It is Free and does not require a support contract (Distributed under GNU License agreement) to receive updates. It is Based on RedHat Enterprise Linux and basically it is the same as RHEL.
The current version of RHEL is RHEL V6 so I'd suggest you to install 6.x in the beginning. To prevent later update.s This being said there are special considerations whether you use 32 bit or 64 bit version of the OS. All these are available through Oracle Documentation. I don't know about your environment but if it is up to you I'd also suggest you to go with a 64 bit version of the O/S for future expansion.
I'd suggest you to go to at least RHEL 5.2 before you install. Because Oracle included some pre-installation RPM beginning with 5.2 and it will do the required tuning to the OS and check if you have all the requirements to use the Oracle database.
Cheers,
K.

Lets try it this way, when you try to install what is e error message you get?
Changing the release file may not be what is eying checked, the kernel version mightbe what is being checked.
