wine users - Aug 2001 - wine build question....

when i go into the kde controll panel... it tells me i have an i686 (its a
686/166MHz machine) 

so, my question is... should i be using the i386 build, or the i686 build???

as i have been using the i386 build, and I am having problems with acessing the
windows registry... i have also tried wine on a cel700, with the i386 build,
and i get the same problems... so should i be using the i686 build???? 

thanks for any help... im really keen to get wine working... even after it has
trashed by fat partitions :(

Doesn't matter at all, I'd say.

I don't think that problems with accessing the windows registry have
anything
to do with the build ;-)
Check your registry path settings in ~/.wine/config

Well, some people would go as far as saying that people who don't read
README
files deserve that ;-)
(I guess that's a nice heads up for paying attention to READMEs in
the future :)

"Trashed" is the wrong term, BTW. You simply need to rename some
directories
back to what they used to be. And it's NOT Wine's fault anyway.

intel (and intel compatible) cpus are backwards compatible. ie, the i386 build
should run fine even if you have a pentium 4
