I took i386 because I don't know how compatible amd is with i586 :) Debian compiles everything as i386-linux btw, I don't really think we'll have any significant slowdown by compiling as i386 instead of i586 code, it's not like we're doing something very cpu intensive :) --Wim ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
