Did you use one of these to install your system? |

The i586 CPU (family 5) but it has almost everything that a i686 CPU |
| 16 |
(family 6) has. The only CPU instruction that is missing is the NOPL or NOP |
| 17 |
Long (means no operation). Now there is a patch available that simulate the |
| 18 |
missing instruction in the kernel so that the user space don't know that the |
| 19 |
instruction is missing. The program can use the instruction as if there is |
| 20 |
nothing missing instead of crashing. The advantage is, the programs that are |
| 21 |
compiled for i686 can run on the i586 CPU with this modified Kernel. In |
| 22 |
Debian there is also a special optimized C Lib version for i686 CPU's (with |
| 23 |
uses cmov instructions). This optimized version of the library works with |
| 24 |
the modified Kernel too. For more info's go to |
