curaga:
I'm surprised it was a P2 - I can't think why FF would default to SSE optimization. But forcing 486 on it will be on my todo list.

Jason W:
Oh well, tried to whip together a temporary xchat package from slackware but it is taking more time than I thought.  I will spend that time rebuilding GTK2 and such instead.

I'll see what's in bios. Cpu not listed by the bios does sound wierd  And it's an AMD not Intel.  edit:  I see Plug and Play Aware O/S in a lot of old bios.  Is TC?
further edit:  now i'm getiing beeps-of-death intermitently on startup.  I'm going to save myself a battle. I have other motherboards that would love to live inside this case.

As soon as i have a reliable, disposable box I am ready to try compiling.   

Jason W:
I have an AMD k6 that is 450mhz, and it will not run i686 compiled apps.  I am almost done rebuilding GTK2.  The GTK2 apps are mostly small and shouldn't take long.  I will finish GTK2, Openssl, and Xchat and a few others tonight.

If there are other apps that anyone has trouble with due to this issue mention them here and they will be put in front of the line.

Jason W:
GTK2, openssl + devs, leafpad, Xchat are rebuilt as i486 and in the TCE extension area.  I will convert those to TCZ tomorrow. 

Softwaregurl,

I didn't see that last of your post as I was going to ask you to test the apps with your machine.  Well, my beloved P4 can go back in the closet for safekeeping since GTK2 is rebuilt, and the AMD K6 can come out as a test box.  Some guys garage their best cars saving them for the car show; I do that with my best PC.  I have many good Pentium 2's and 3's to get use out of first ( makes no sense so don't ask me why ).  Anyway, back to compiling...
