No the bug would have still been there. You just wouldn't have had a problem with it. The bug is *NOT* the presence of the i686 directory. The bug is the incorrect detection of your processor as being i686 not i586. Deleting the i686 is just a work around for the problem. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org Never take no as an answer from someone who isn't authorized to say yes.
