Hi all;
What's the status of the CentOS 5 for the i586 project?
http://wiki.centos.org/Projects/CentOS5PentiumSupport
I was experimenting with my AMD K6-II machine today. By following the notes at http://wiki.centos.org/TimothyLee/centos5_i586_patch and the link above, I managed to compile an i586 kernel and deploy it on the K6 machine, which is now running C5 happily behind me with about 76MB of RAM. I wrote down the steps I took and the problems I encountered, which I need to organize a bit.
Is this information useful in any way? I know the K6 is *practically* dead, but I'm sure there's a few diehards using it still. (Maybe three or four?)
I'll be playing around with this machine a little more and experimenting. It was a great learning experience.
Cheers, Cody Jackson
