I ran in to the same problem a couple of months ago. The reason there isn't a dependence on bin86 is because only i386 machines need bin86. The kernel packages themselves are architecture independent, so there was no easy way to specify the dependence on bin86. The way around this problem is to read the documentation that comes with the kernel related packages. The need for bin86 is pointed out there. I am guessing that you (like me) missed those references. -- Jim Crumley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
