That's, roughly, the compile specifications for native binaries on your system. The format is <cpu>-<arch>-<kernel>-<binutils> (roughly). An Opteron would be x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, PPC machines are ppc64-...-linux-gnu or ppc-...-linux-gnu, where the architecture varies on the manufacturer (Apple, IBM, or PegasOS(?)). Non-linux kernels (like OpenSolaris or *BSD) change the 3rd part. IF you aren't running GNU binutils, the last part will change. [I don't know if there's a choice for linux--but I'm fairly sure the *BSDs have native binutils.] > Can I replase pc with server or home_router? No; that architecture wouldn't be recognized. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- [email protected] mailing list
