Steve's right, and we'd have to test the new build too. Also, doesn't optimising for 486 slow things down more than the current 386 builds on non-486 machines? The 386 build is installed whenever we cannot guess the right processor to optimise for. It's also installed all the time when the common netinst CD image is used, since we can only fit on kernel image on that CD. -- see shy jo
