Unfortunately yoper went all the way, and while my laptop can run it, but my 2 AMD K6-2 PC's cant. But yes i586 is a good standard nowadays for a desktop, but I still have 486 servers here, and this version has a minimal server only install option. so its not focussing on the desktop, so its understandable as to being made for lower spec gear too.

I've got the i386 iso on the way, should have it in an hour or so, will let people know how it goes.
You know this is a pet peeve of mine. I wish more distros compiled their apps as at least i586 binaries. No one (or nearly no one) would attempt to use a modern distro on a i386 anymore. Even 486 systems will be hard to come by now.
At least the Yoper guys are doing something about this, to good effect I hear.
