I have an Athlon XP, with a custom kernel compiled for Athlons, and uname -m returns "i686" for me as well (though it should probably say "K7"). According to the uname info page: "Some systems provide a mechanism to interrogate the kernel directly for this information. On systems without such a mechanism, the GNU C library fills in this field based on the configuration name that was specified when building and installing the library." Perhaps it is getting it from libc6? Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
