I had wanted to run i386 for compatibility. But as I mentioned to Brian J. Smith off-list, both KnoppMyth and CentoOS4.1 i386 hung when booting off of the install disk. Whereas CentoOS4.1 x86_64 installed without complaint. Can anyone come up with a reason x86_64 would boot but i386 wouldn't? On the other side of the compatibility coin, ATrpms has a *full* set of el4.x86_64 RPMs for MythTV, Lirc, etc. So far, compatibility has not been and issue. I mentioned in my first post that I installed the lastest kernel. Turns out that that really wasn't needed. ATrpms has all the needed kernel modules pre-compiled for the currently released kernel. By going with the latest kernel I've had to compile and install all those modules myself. Kirk Bocek
