ok there is a bug in C3 cpu, but this would not be a problem if an OS that 
claimed to be for an i586 cpu did not have that directory /lib/i686. If the 
directory had not been there in the first place, mandrake 9.0 would not have 
been tried on epia based pc's by newbies and then rejected/badmouthed as 
useless because it will not load without jumping through hoops!
This gives linux a bad name it does not need or deserve.
