Must be > surely someone with paaattttiieeeennnccceeeee! I have to concur. Mandrake Linux won't even pass first boot on non i686 due to the /lib/i686 mess. Because of this Mandrake can not state that it runs on i586 and later. What's the point with /lib/i686? It isn't possible to have i386, i486, i586, ppc, etc. in there also? gwenole? Chears.
