According to the internets... the C3 purports to be a i686-class processor, and has MMX/3DNow, but does not have the supposedly optional CMOV instruction that other processors of its class have. Some people managed to get i686 kernels to run, some didn't, depending on the distro. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
