The Athlon XP (and other AMD's) cpu is x86 compatible. Once you do an initial install there are kernel-images available for different CPU's, 686, 586, athlon etc. If you use dselect/aptitude you can look at the different choices available. - -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/6g27k7rtxKWZzGsRAmMkAJkB5dfw5OBoUhxG3d335WKdX2dPqgCaA5ym Y0VtdnjeCtLEkN9VPoADd4w= =rouh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
