Ben: Thanks, I had not realized that the 1st Pentium was not part of the 686 series. Quite a surprise that was. Stephen: Heh, I am having quite a time learning the "easier" distros. I thought about Gentoo but suspect I am not ready for that learning curve. A weekend? HAH - for me it would more likely be months at least. Maybe one day though I would have the confidence to try it on a spare machine. Right now I could not spare the time. Kevin: In fact it was because I spotted the 686 kernel in Synaptic that this question came to mind. Too bad that "note" is not somewhere prominent in an installation. Thank you all for the replies. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
