And "uname -a" claims: Linux linux.framingham.ma.us 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:41:45 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux But, I agree that the AMD K6 *is* an i586. (yeup, I have one of those too.) > In other words, you are good to go. Yes, if the PIII is i686, then the PIV is too. -- Kevin J.
