Why do you want to run i386 RPMs when i686 RPMs are available? > They should just run slower... As far as I know, celerons are 686's that do not meet the 686 specs .. So they can not be sold as 686 ... As I have an out-of-mem problem on just 2 machines that by accident are the only 2 coppermine cpu's I have ... And, as both machines just run very plain installs with not much to do, I am trying to find the problem in the glibc combination. On RH72 both machines ran fine .. But, of course that was a different glibc and a different gcc ... And, why not use i386 rpms ? i386 binairies are just not i686 optimized and contain asm instructions for i386 which could be left out on i686 optimized binairies ... And, since speed is not an issue ... who cares about optimization ?? the machines just need to be online... > rgb Eddie
