Not sure what you tell me here. Did you rebuild (explicitly disable)
anything to make FC1 work on this DX100 or did you build the system with
stock rpms?

In the latter case, that would mean the absence of the cmov instruction
is not a problem and I am having problems with rpm for another reason. I
do get an illegal instruction on that Cyrix however.

I should definitely find some time and try an installation on one of my
Aptiva's then.

Bye,
Leonard.
