i dont see how you can correlate i386 and i486 with 64bit ... they are different architectures (x86 and x86_64). further more, every x86_64 processor supports i686 in its 32bit compatibility mode. > Embedded Gentoo seems to be another (fuller) variant that is more like > a striped down gentoo for embedded.

Lower? i386? again, the limitations here are not Gentoo. gcc and uClibc both support i386, therefore Embedded Gentoo can run on an i386. > So from what has been said, 'embedded gentoo' only has these choices for > builds: i586, i686, and higher? who said that ? > If there are lower arch support, then where do I find i486 stage files > and such? the uClibc stages on our mirrors target i386. if you want/need something else, you'll have to build it. -mike
