Install this second world on a Pentium box. > Ruslan, This is good information to have, but it brings to mind, how do the release engineers build a release that will install binaries, and then allow you to run a buildworld on machines types from a Intel 386 to an AMD Athlon? Is it a matter of using the lowest common denominator? and the release building hardware is running the operating system with out any optimizations? P.S. and to keep this "On-Topic" for the stable list, my buildworlds and systems have been running great on 4.6-Pre, Great work and kudos to the Project members and contributers.
