Hence my comment before, and as you said... > perhaps I am way off. I know from what i have tinkered with, i cannot use RPMs i have created for my P4 with my P4 based celeron. I may be able to use them but RPM refuses to install it due to the fact that it does not register as a Pentium 4, i would imagine Athlon's and Durons would have the same problem, no doubt due the the cpu registering as something different from expected. > > -- > Rodolfo J.
