If the 686 variant of the package is available, use it. This is extremely important for the kernel and glibc. If there isn't a 686 package available, you should be able to use the 386 version in most cases, with glibc being a notable exception. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
