I run IPCop on i486, i586 (true Pentium) and i686 (Pentium Pro) systems.

Anyway, my problem is that RPM traps with illegal instruction when a query all, among other combinations, is attempted. It does not do it on my AMD XP, but does do it on the old one. Possible that RPM was compiled with a later arch specified?

Yes. The K6 is largely i686 compatible (sans cmov), so it at least runs the i586 installer. The 5x86 is definitely an i486.

As much as some would mind me recommending another solution on the CentOS list, I feel I must. Consider IPCop 1.4. It is a "Linux from scratch" distro (no longer Red Hat Linux based as of 1.3.0 I believe, maybe it was 1.2.0?). ==========================================================================

Bryan, IPCop installed and working fine. Thanks for the suggestion. Hope I edited this right. I'm not familiar with replying from a DIGEST form.
