I'm currently building a few packages using the "easy" methond listed on the susewiki, namely with "checkinstall". What is the best architecheure to choose for a box running an AthlonXP 2500?
I forget which one is which. Is this the new Athlon (64 bit) or the old Athlon (32 bit)?
If it's the new kind, the architecture is x86_64
If it's the old kind, it's either i586 or i686 (choose which one you want, I've found the differences to be unnoticable)
Mine is the 32bit proc. Checkinstall seems to default to i386, but has options for athlon, i586 and i686 as well. I'm not sure, but I think the need for the athlon option was negated by either that being for older athlon processors, or the newer linux kernels. So I guess using i686 won't be a problem?
