"Is GRP Available? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Not all architectures provide GRP packages. That doesn't mean GRP isn't supported on the other architectures, but it means that we don't have the resources to build and test the GRP packages. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
At present we provide GRP packages for the following architectures: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
* The amd64 architecture (amd64) |
| 43 |
* The ppc architecture (ppc32, ppc64) |
| 44 |
* The sparc architecture (sparc64) |
| 45 |
************************ * The x86 architecture (athlon, athlon-xp, |
| 46 |
athlon-mp, pentium-pro, pentium2, pentium3, pentium4 and pentium-m) |
| 47 |
Note: THE PACKAGES ARE FOR I686 AND ARE AVAILABLE ON THE INSTALLER |
