Re: [PHP] Linux Issues
You're way off topic for the PHP list, and if you are asking this kind of question you are probably going to need a lot of support. If you were in Maritime Canada I'd suggest you post these questions to NSLUG; if not, post to a Linux Users Group near you. Google for your region/country. I'd also recommend buying a boxed version as you appear to be having trouble with your ISO images. If you insist on dloading, get Knoppix as it will run from the CD, then you can go from there. Verify the MD5 checksum's against what you downloaded. Regards - Miles Thompson At 09:36 AM 9/7/2003 -0500, you wrote: Another question if you will...

Re: [PHP] Linux Issues
When downloading Linux ISOs or whatever, which do I need? What is the difference between i386, PPC, and all those other exactly? How do I know which I need? This may be the source of your problems. i386, PPC, etc. are architectures: i386: x386 or higher i586: Pentium II or higher (or equivalent) i686: Pentium III or higher (or equivalent) i786: Pentium IV or higher (or equivalent) PPC: Mac Power PC sparc: Sun Sparc And the list goes on and on. You have yet to tell the list if you are running any oddball configuration. Do you have any RAID or SCSI controllers?

Re: [PHP] Linux Issues
I have a Pentium 4, this is probably the reason it's messing up. I don't have any RAID or SCSI controllers and I've unplugged all my USB devices.

Re: [PHP] Linux Issues

Well you don't need an i786 and probably won't find one. i786 means you can use it if you have a PIV but not a PIII -- basically it takes advantage of architecture specific things. You could use an i586 or i686 or i386 fine -- you just wouldn't get any hyperthreading (I'm not even sure if this is supported by the Linux kernel) -Dan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
