If RedHat pushes towards resource hungry User interfaces like
Gnome/KDE and installations in Python who are looooooong (at least the
update was) on a Cyrix 686 at 133 Mhz (rated like a 166+) it seems
there is little reason to continue using the -m486 flag for compiling
since 486s seem far too underpowered for running (and installing)
RedHat 6.2.
The only reason for keeping -m486 would be if the compiler would
generate buggy code with -mpentium.
If RedHat is supposed to run on a 486 then RedHat should provide a
user interface and an installation who are not undecently slow on a
486.
