You're right, but in the case of Xeon, it's because Intel makes both 32 bit and 64 bit (EM64T) Xeon branded CPUs. I don't know if that situation exists with other processors, but I wouldn't be surprised. It sounds like what you want is something that says "Intel PIII processors use the i386 port" ... etc. I don't know if that exists, but I agree it would be a good resource. Perhaps someone could put up a page on wiki.debian.org? Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
