but i usually choose the appropriate kernel architecture during the menuconfig session, and while the 486 will run on the Athlon, it's not vice versa. and am i not correct in believeing that it's better e.g. for a pentium to run a P5 kernel rather than a 386 kernel... performance wise? martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
