Wrong!
Original mandriva was compiled i386. It was when we &quot;merged&quot; with
berolinux we targeted the i586 (spring 1999).
Using an experimental compiler (egcs).
At -O6.
All of this landed in version 6.0 with the new glibc-2.1 and the new kernel-2.2.
That was the distro where we defaulted to using udma.
On all hard disks. Even those who didn't supported.

Ah, me remembering the glorious days of mdk6.1 with chmouel chasing a
critical kernel memory leak just days before the release.
Hopefully Alan Cox saved us.
That was a beautiful year :-)

&gt;<i> so Mageia will never run on i386 or i486. &#160;Those
</I>&gt;<i> platforms are pretty much extinct and i386 can't do POSIX threads
</I>&gt;<i> anyways.

i486 does. Did. At least fedora's glibc had patches for that.
