Re: No i686 kernel: Can we require SSE2 for i686?

Idk, but you know - example - somebody starts with Linux. He won't install it on his home desktop PC or work laptop. He rather find an old dusty laptop from 2005 in his shed and starts to learn there. I think, a lot of people who are potential new users or IT guys, has only access to old HW,

Once upon a time, Florian Weimer said: > I ran into this unannounced change: > > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Stop_Building_i686_Kernels I'm assuming it's a work-in-progress proposal? For one thing, it says it is not a system wide change, but (if I'm

No i686 kernel: Can we require SSE2 for i686?
