IMO. I think the question is more about supporting machines with less memory and processors that don't support all of the 686 instructions. I have a couple of old laptops that I use at a gaming convention once a year that have pentium 90s with 24MB of memory. I have redhat 6.2 on them, but would have liked to have tried using Fedora on at least one of them. But I wouldn't be able to use anaconda to do the install and I might need to build a custom kernel to cut the memory needed down a bit. But I'll probably just leave them as is and in a few years find some other old hand me down laptop to replace them. I also have a couple of low end routers that currently have ddwrt images on them. When openwrt has 2.6 kernel broadcom support, I plan to switch over to openwrt. But it would be cool to be able to run a Fedora based router spin on them if such a thing existed. (Not cool enough for me to do the development, as I have other things I want done more.) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
