Hi folks Just a couple trivial queries here. I have an AMD Athlon Thunderbird CPU and my $HOSTTYPE is currently "i386". I thought it would have been either "i686" or maybe even "athlon"? I realise the machine architecture is an i386 compatible but I thought the exact architecture would have been more appropriate. `arch` correctly reports "i686". Related is the $MACHTYPE. It's set to "i386-redhat-linux-gnu". Again, should this not contain i686? Also, are there plans to change this to fedora? i.e. "i686-fedora-linux-gnu". Lastly, is it safe to change these values myself? Or do certain apps rely on them being the values originally set? TIA -- Matt
