RHEL 5 doesn't require SSE2 and runs just fine on PIII and Athlon XP. I think the big question is this: is this worth the effort? Almost all the new systems should just be running x86_64 anyway. Why does x86 (32 bit) need to throw out working architectures? Adding them back as a secondary arch just increases the workload (for somebody) that much more. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
