ehh?  Not a very good path to send him down.

It means they designed it to work on a "Red Hat Linux 6.2" system or at
least theirs.  It doesn't specify a processor anywhere so we have to wonder
and look at their nifty "installlite" only to still find no clues.  Maybe
its for i386.  But you can tell they have no clue where all our files are
and the program will only install crap all over.  Now if you cleaned up the
install program and have an i386 product (Raq3,4) and don't mind a bunch of
strange directories, it might just work!  well the installation anyway.
