How about something like "exactarch=glibc kernel kernel-smp" being recognized? There are actually few packages for which the wrong arch can lead to disaster, and there are many more for which it's no big deal (like gzip, or 3rd party packages going from i386 to i586 because of enabled mmx stuff etc.). Just a thought. Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux kernel 2.6.6-1.427 Load : 0.32 0.29 0.47
