I know from what i have tinkered with, i cannot use RPMs i have created
for my P4 with my P4 based celeron. I may be able to use them but RPM
refuses to install it due to the fact that it does not register as a
Pentium 4, i would imagine Athlon's and Durons would have the same
problem, no doubt due the the cpu registering as something different
from expected.
