It would. Things should _compile_ fine as i686 on your i586 processor, but as soon as one of those compiled programs tries to issue an i686-specific instruction, you're in trouble. And from your original message: > I thought the Pentium Pro was a dead-end, and that > the Pentium II was based on the Pentium. No, the pentium II's are based on the pentium pro. Chris I Often things ARE as bad as they seem!
