that's off a little bit - I blame redhat....
The K6, K6-II, and Cursoe do not have support for the conditional move opcode, and the K6 does not have MMX support - therefore not *ALL* 686 compiled stuff will work... and cmov is used fairly often, so be careful on these architectures
Last I'd heard Arch worked fine on a Crusoe.

Thanks.
]]>it may not be easy but when you have everything set uop youwill have learned alot and it is usually smooth sailing at that point.
you are not over your head unless you easily get frustrated.

]]>As for 686, it is a reference to the instruction set available to the intel (x86) and similar line of processors. Consider the following:
- 386 (M386) -=[386 Starts Here]=-
- 486 (M486)
- 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX (M586) -=[586 Starts Here]=-
- Pentium-Classic (M586TSC)
- Pentium-MMX (M586MMX)
- Pentium-Pro/Celeron/Pentium-II (M686) -=[686 Starts Here]=-
- Pentium-III/Celeron(Coppermine) (MPENTIUMIII)
- Pentium-4 (MPENTIUM4)
- K6/K6-II/K6-III (MK6)
- Athlon/Duron/K7 (MK7)
- Elan (MELAN)
- Crusoe (MCRUSOE)
- Winchip-C6 (MWINCHIPC6)
- Winchip-2 (MWINCHIP2)
- Winchip-2A/Winchip-3 (MWINCHIP3D)
- CyrixIII/VIA-C3 (MCYRIXIII)

]]>Here's where my problem is... I boot Arch and instead of seeing KDE load up or Gnome--I get a black screen like DOS asking for "myhost login" I figured that Arch was just asking for me to make a new user so I login as root, make a new user and give it a password. I also give root a password. I reboot the system and nothing changes. Was there something wrong with my installation?
I think I should mention that my computer has an AMD 64 achitecture... does Arch not support this system? What does i686 architecture mean anyway?
Ok that's it. Thank you.
