-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Originally sent 12/30/00, but I don't think I was properly subscribed to the list before... my apologies if this gets posted twice. Anyway, I am seriously confused about processor-specific versions. I have Mandrake 7.0-2 (Air) running on an Intel 486 chipset, and it works really great (it's a firewall box, so I don't use X Windows). BUT, when I viewed the mdk webpage showing security updates, most if not all are "*mdk.i586.rpm", which implies that they are compiled for Pentium-class CPUs. So I went to the trouble of getting all the *mdk.src.rpm files, and tried "rpm --rebuild" to create i486 RPMs. I got a gcc error, since I had forgotten to include a development package or two when I first installed Mandrake. So I looked for it on the CD-ROM. Then I discover that the RPMs on this Mandrake 7.0 "486-compatible" ISO are all i586 versions! My question is this: For a 486 66MHz, can I use any *mdk.i586.rpm? If not (meaning I have to use *mdk.src.rpm or find *mdk.i386.rpm's), then how did Mandrake even install in the first place, if all these RPMs on the CD are i586? Can I expect problems later? ;) Thanks in advance. +------------------+---------------------------------------------+ | Jeff Bonner | "I tried to have cybersex once, but I got | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a busy signal." | +------------------+---------------------------------------------+ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBOlHq/GB7+X77HVJnEQJPIACff1qu362io7BlNWiu57VknYWoL7IAoNVU /Z/4u2OE1kAeNSjcelMg519k =1iqj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
