[tux_italian]

hi
i have modify the file /etc/inittab to disable autologin.
at the login,the console display:

puppy linux
linux 2.6.16.7 (i686 arch)
puppypc login:

if puppy is built from scratch,why is present (i686 arch) ?
i have suppose that puppy is based on arch linux but puppy is built from scratch...

[Flash]

'i686 arch' means Intel 686 architecture, which is I believe the Pentium 4. Is that what you meant?

thanks for your help
i686 arch is i686 architecture and not is arch linux
my pc is a sempron 64 bit 1800 mhz,512 mb ram,80 gb hard disk.
puppy have recognised all hardware.
is correct my installation (puppy linux in a 64 bit machine)?
the pc run very fast.
i have already tried all linux distro and i have selected puppy for my pc forever.
suse is too slow and weight,gentoo not recognize my sound card.
when i buy the pc i'm not known what's a 64 bit machine,i have buy the first new economical pc.
bye

Very good news.

My belief is an operating system should be complete, stable and minimal, allowing the running of processor intensive tasks for example

• 3D raytracing - Puppy has a few .pups for that
  Sphinx voice recognition - anyone up for that?
  advanced game play
  video editing
  animation
  AI
  Robotics - any news of the new poppy powered underwater robot?
  Open Source Time Travel - http://tmxxine.com/Wikka/wikka.php?wakka=LinuxTmxxine

etc

Barry is moving to k2 as a development system, which will make Puppy viable on a range of processors from IBM/Sony Cell to yet to be available phone chips.

Puppy runs on old and new, 32 and 64 bit

Next step?
