The i486 packages seem to work on an i686 box. I no longer have any
real i486 or i586 boxes, and when I posted about this on rpm-list,
nobody with an i586 box ever replied to me. If nobody tries this on
a real i586 box, I could try to emulate an i586 one way or another,
but that's another thing I haven't had time to do yet.
I'm typing this on a *real* i586 (Intel Pentium 166 MMX). I can do a
fresh install of RHL 9 here (empty 4 GB partition). Please tell me what
to do for the test, and I'll do it, maybe next weekend.
By the way, I also have a real i486, but I still need to check the
hardware and get a decent-sized harddrive for it. But after that, I
offer to test there as well. Don't worry about trashed installs - it
will be a installation testing machine for RULE anyway...
Best regards,
Martin Stricker
