Hi Abdul, 

* theoretically possible, yes
* practically possible, maybe (noone checks if the applications build against 
such an old version anymore)
* recommended, definitely not (since the old version has accumulated many 
known security issues by now, very risky)

If you still want to try, contact me by private mail, and I'll summarize the 
needed steps.

Best, 
Andreas
