Hi guys
I'm turning to Knoppix because so far I can't find anyone who understands what I'm trying to do.
I tried creating my own LiveCD based on a simple Centos install which works fine on i686's but I need i386 support. It is the i386 version but I'm actually running it on an i686 machine.
The problem is that even though I have i386 binaries they won't execute on i586's, probably because the .so files I include to satisfy ldd dependencies are for i686 because even if I compile a program with CFLAGS "-march=i386 -mtune=i386" the program will not run say an i586.
What I'm trying to do is find a simple way like I normally use to make basic custom live CD's only ones that support i386 and not i686 if you guys know what I mean. I'm sure someone here can help since Knoppix runs just fine on my i586
I hope that explains it.
Any help would be appreciated because I'm lost with this one!
