My mini-port of RedHat 7.1 is at ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/redhat/7.1/ you should be able to put a small RedHat 7.1 on the mips/mipsel box and compile the rest of RedHat 7.1 yourselves. Here are something you should know: 1. The cross compiler hosted on RedHat 7.1/ia32 is provided as a toolchain rpm. The binary rpms for the mips and mipsel cross compilers are included. You will need glibc 2.2.3-11 or above to use those rpms. The glibc x86 binary rpms under RPMS/i386 should be ok. 2. You have to find a way to put those rpms on your machine. I use network boot and NFS root to do it. 3. install.tar.bz2 has some scripts to prepare NFS root and install RedHat 7.1 on a hard drive. Thanks.
