Ok, so at
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake-crypto/7.1/
I see openssh-2.1.0p2-1mdk.i586.rpm and other files.
The latest openssh is 2.1.1 at http://www.openssh.com
Just for the sake of understanding, what does Mandrake do when they
create a custom version for LM ? Is is mainly just the Pentium (i586)
optimization, or is there more involved ?
This question would apply to any rpm applications ...
What difference would there be if someone used a regular rpm instead
of the *mkd.i586.rpm versions ?
I'm sure that not all applications need to be Pentium optimized, so
how can we tell the difference ? .... just curious :)
Thanks... Dan.
