Hi,

are there going to be any potential problems with using Redhat 5.0 with a
Cyrix processor. I have been doing a little reading, and haven't found any
reason to think there will be any problems.

Any warnings / hints / tips will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
joe.

I'm running RH 5.0 on a P200 with no problems.
I've heard of a patch for some Cyrix processors, but I don't know what
and whom thats targeted to.

        The only issue is with the GLibc files that come with RedHat 5.0 -
They're broken for Cyrix.  Download the new ones (in the Errata pages at
www.redhat.com) and everything's fine.

The version of GCC included in RH 4.2 has no problem at all with working
on the 6x86. The version of GCC included with SUSE 5.1 has no problem with
working on the 6x86. I have no idea why Red Hat doesn't have some in-house
Cyrix-based  machines to catch things like this on, but...
