SDRacer48 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hi All, I am a little confused on which image to download. All I want is the LiveCD so I can play around with it. I go HERE, and it gives me the option of i686 and x86-64 I usually download the i386 iso for Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, gOS, and others, but Fedora is not giving me that option. My processor on my Desktop is a Pentium 4 HT and my processor in my Laptop is a Pentium Dual-Core. They are both x86 (i.e. i386 processors) aren't they? Thanks, Cody Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104710-what-image-to-download-fedora/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the one you need, because x86_64 has both instructions.

I've not come across an i686 before... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104710-what-image-to-download-fedora/#findComment-745679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDRacer48 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 So does i686 means i386 then? I've not come across an i686 before... Exactly, that is why I am confused... Wikipedia Entry My processors are not on that list. Weird, huh?

Balto Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Exactly, that is why I am confused... Wikipedia Entry My processors are not on that list. Weird, huh? Indeed, P4s are not on the list...

Alessandro17 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Exactly, that is why I am confused... Wikipedia Entry My processors are not on that list. Weird, huh? Your processor should qualify as i686 Edit: your laptop Pentium Dual-Core might or might not support x86-64 but, as MasterofComputers wrote, all you need is the i686 iso.

(MoC) Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 C'mon guys, trust us. Alessandro and I have been banging out distros day in and day out . As evidence my P3 that runs Slackware shows up as an i686 under KDE's Computer Management Pane. If a P3 qualifies so should a P4.

As evidence my P3 that runs Slackware shows up as an i686 under KDE's Computer Management Pane. If a P3 qualifies so should a P4. Alright, I was comming to that idea too. So does this means that P4 should be added to the list on Wiki?

Would you like to do that since I don't have a wikipedia account?

Balto Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yes Balto. Would you like to do that since I don't have a wikipedia account? I've done that. Took some time figuring out where to place it according to production timeline. Eventually decided to have it between Celeron and Pentium M.
