One other thing: Will that change the way the system reacts in any way? Apps should run normally (well, a browser may give a wrong plattform information but that should be it). But what happens if you try to compile something? Will a wrong plattform or CPU variable screw up what the compiler spits out? Could be rather unhealthy if the compiler optimizes code for a sun4u on an i386. :-) Regards, Chris
