But in my optinion we cant always support old Hardware. The Problem is that the i586 Kernel is not getting out the full Power of new CPUs like AMD K10 or the Intel iX. Maybe we could make the i686 the default one and the i586 as an option? I think that will be better for our "non-Pc-geek-users". Greetings -- Egon Ashrafinia <[email protected]>
