System name:		zbt-quickstation.mit.edu

Display type:		

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		icewm

What were you trying to do?
     The machine was attempting to autoupdate.

What's wrong:
     The kernel-2.2.14-6.0.1.i686.rpm will not load on non 686 machines
     (e.g. this 486 and some AMD K6-III's all complained miserably).

What should have happened:
     Some kludge in the update script should figure out which of the
     kernel rpms to install. :)

What you may feel free to tell me:
     that reuse-bait isn't a supported platform.
