That's what it's supposed to do. The first gcc that specifically knows what an Athlon is was v3.0. As far as the kernel configuration, telling it to use an Athlon causes it to do things a little differently when it builds. Remember that the compiler doesn't know what one is, so some tricks are played to make use of Athlon features while still allowing the compiler to build for i686. All right and proper. -- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.cox.net/msw -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
