OK, it's kind of a pain in the patootie to change out the processor on this machine, but I'll do it one more time since you've been so helpful. I can certainly capture /proc/cpuinfo for you, but I'm not certain exactly how (mostly when) to blow away the /mnt/lib/i686 stuff. At what point in the install, exactly, should I switch over to the command shell VC and delete those files?
