Testing NPTL on i586 [was: What is minimum RAM to install?]

 The problem with 486's is that it's quite annoying to use anaconda to 
install the system since 8.0. The missing i386 kernel will cause all 
packages to complain about missing depencies (ie the kernel) which will 
cause the install to take ages to complete. If you want to install on a 486 
you'ld rather use another means of installation (rpm --root <mounted 
partition> -i $(cat packs) from a system with a compatible version of rpm).

Bye,
Leonard.
