Daniel,
CentOS 3.3 on a Pentium II with 300 Mhz, a Pentium I
with 166 Mhz, one K6 system with 200 Mhz, all
working
fine, working as little build farm and test suite
for
development. All systems have at 64MB RAM installed.
I had yum problems on Pentium I's with 72 megs of memory -- yum would crash a lot. (This was running cAos 1, not CentOS.)
I am surprised that 64 megs is working well for you.

I have run FC1/2/3 on systems like this with nothing but text mode installed (e.g. no KDE, no GNOME, no X). I too ran into problems with yum, but was able to reduce them by running
yum check-update
to find packages that need updating and then doing a
yum install <singlepackage>
for each of the packages returned by the check-update. I'm not sure if that really makes sense and was helping or if it was just a concidence that yum ran faster on those packages.

Hi,

Me, too :-) In my case, yum worked fine. Extremely slow but it did the job. The upgrade from CentOS 3.1 to 3.3 took more than three hours. Had to do it in stages, since the whole upgrade required more space than the systems hard disk has left. Actually I upgraded kernel and glibc stuff first, then library stuff and finally after yum clean I finished with OpenOffice stuff. I don't know if the full upgrade would have worked, if the hard disk would have been bigger. It's only 8GB.

I was under the impression that NPTL required use of thread registers that were not available on ia32 until the i686 ABI, and then not implmentented into the kernel until Ingo's TSL syscall?
