FC2 devel/i386 vs VIA EPIA boards

Hello Alan,

(Getting a little confused here, since my last conclusion was this Cyrix
is i386 compatible, but now I see Michael Johnson stating in bugzilla it
is an i486 compatible...)

The problem is not the kernel, but rpm. I was able to install exporting
the disk from another system on the same machine and rpm-ing to the NFS
mount. It runs, but rpm is unusable because of an illegal instruction,
which is probably the cmov.

I guess it is time to import my bookmarks from doze and do some
backtracking.

Bye,
Leonard.
