Hi Michael, Thanks for your advice. My PC config as follows ======================= CPU - Athlon 2.1G RAM - 512MB Graphic card - WinFast GeForce2 MX Memory - 32MB OS - RH8.0 I think I can use "AMD64". If I am wrong please correct me. I am not very experienced on "vi". Most time I use "mc" (midnight commander) for text editing. Anyway I will go through "vitutor" later. I know how to toggle between Init2 and Init5 after login, not booting straight to Init2 by changing "/etc/inintab" Is there a simple way to boot straight to Init2 without changing "/etc/inintab? Thanks B.Regards Stephen On Tue, 2003-08-26 at 01:31, mwvonlehe@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > >I am running CPU Athol 2.1G and the Graphic card has 32MB memory.

My computer that has the IA32 nvidia driver. It is a PII 400 and uses the i686 kernel (kernel-2.4.20-20.8.i686.rpm). > > AMD64 - The AMD Opteron™ processor for servers and workstations is the first milestone in establishing this new class of computing. It will be followed by the AMD Athlon™ 64 processor which will allow pervasive adoption of the AMD64 platform for desktop and mobile personal computers. AMD64 replaces terms such as “Hammer” (now “AMD64 Platform”) and “x86-64” (now “AMD64 ISA”). I don't think you have this one... > > IA64 - is for the Intel 64 bit Itanium.
