Mandrake was originally Linux optimized for Intel pentiums. So the kernel that comes with Mandrake is more for Intel, but will work just fine with an AMD chip as well.
You can go through the kernel config and specify that you want a kernel built for AMD, and it will then do so. I've tried 4 times to compile a kernel for Mandrake and each time it pretty much sucked! USB wasn't supported, or sound wasn't loading the modules, or something was wrong. So I gave up and kept the default kernel. So I just stick with compiling FreeBSD kernels! That's fun and easy. tdh -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- T.
