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.
You can use CentOS which was mentioned on here previously. It is about as identical to RHEL as you can get and it's free to download. You'd want to double check me, but I believe you could use their install media on a test server, without violating the license, provided you didn't expect support, updates, etc.
