Main article is not about -m, it is something related to -p, My laptop says, $ uname -p Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz If your linux[1] says i386 for -p, then you should consider reading mentioned article. To my knowledge, -m means processor architecture like i386/i686, x86_64, sun4u/sparc, arm* etc., Thanks, Mohan R [1] I'm insisting on linux. because only linux dropped support for i386 chip. Not others. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
