I'm sure if someone submitted a patch to do so it'd be accepted in this particular case. There are only a couple libraries in the i686 directory (the i586 ones are just in /lib). They are libraries that i686 users get significantly better performance by using. These i686 libraries do not hurt i586 machines in general. So I really don't see what your complaint is about. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org Never take no as an answer from someone who isn't authorized to say yes.
