Do you mean what architecture it was compiled for? In that case, "athlon". That's why I thought $HOSTTYPE and $MACHTYPE should reflect this.

If I was to recompile my kernel for "i686" or "athlon", this would not be beneficial to system performance and efficiencies? > As far as I see at the rpm macros, Fedora is using prelinking, which > normally brings you most performance gains using different applications. This prelinking you mentioned is interesting. I read the howto you linked to and would like to investigate more with it. Can you tell me if it is done internally or must I manually enter `/uss/sbin/prelink -afmR` in order to use this feature? > Alexander -- Matt
