If your CPU is a valid 64-bit CPU, you can install either the i386 version (32-bit) or the x86_64 version. You may not get full support of specific CPU instructions that are available ONLY on your particular CPU, but the right one will run. I had 586 CPUs on two different machines at work way back when 5.0 came out, and the x86_64 installation ran just fine on both. mhr _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
