Hmmm... what distro is that, I wonder?  It's an oldie, I can tell. :-)

yeah, right you are, it's the old mdk 6.1
but it works for me :)

You say you're using i586 architecture, but it's a Pentium 3?  If it's a P3, it's actually i686-compatable.  Anything Pentium and higher by Intel is i686 compatable.

thanks for lightening me (also thanks goes to Gary Heston)

$ grep ^model /proc/cpuinfo
model           : 7
model name      : Pentium III (Katmai)

so, the correct arch is i686


Yeah, you can either install glibc in there (likely side-by-side with your libc-2.1)

hmmm... I'm not sure can I do the thing
without messing up my working system...

or just stick with the 3.03 client.

yeah, sure, but
the only thing is..
.. simply I haven't it..
I'm quite newby in SETI@home thing
