Any chance that you might also "back it down a notch" and compile it
with the 586 flags? For those of us with Cyrix and Pentiums, of course...
My machines are MII-300, MII-233, PR233MX, 2xP133, PPro200, 8xP100, so I
would obviously be able to benefit big from something like that, whereas
for a 686 distro I wouldn't.

man, I didn't realise this would be such a popular thing.
I have plenty of disk no problems.
I am just overwhelmed that there is such a huge response.
What I plan to do, is to i686ify as many packages as will do so, whilst
keeping it redhat, I will not change the installer, or anything else, just
integrate the 686 packages where possible.
some may not compile, and as such will stay i386.
