While it won't be equivalent, I'd recommend installing RH on a PC, up2date the machine to look as close as possible and then install mono on that machine. It should give you some inclination as to any obvious gotchas. It shouldalso allow you to write down a procedure to sort of follow. Modifying live systems is a whole truckload of trouble-in-waiting.

First off, don't do it to a live system. Do it on a test platform. Get a spare PC somewhere and put the same version of RH on it and up2date them to match. Then install mono on the test box.

Anything else is asking for trouble...

Well, that's part of the problem. It's a dedicated server in a local hosting company (Arsalon). I only have access to the machine over SSH, and Redhat Enterprise Linux (I believe) is not a free download. I did insist that they take a complete back up of the system before we start, so that will exist.
