Nope. 2.6.8-i386 installs by default. Better performance can be gained by later installing a stock kernel-image-2.6.8-i686, but that still misses the biscuit, as that kernel's tuned to the P4 chip. Best way is to install the i386 distro as stated before, which will work out of the box anyway, and once y'all learn your way around, build a custom kernel tuned to the Pentium-M. Then you can get all the goodies available in the centrino chipset tuned in the way you want. You won't do damage to the machine by running the stock kernel, but it's kind of like running on a slow track with Talledega-style restrictor plates in the manifold - you won't see the best performance for the environment. -- Regards, Dave -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
