I installed Lubuntu 10.04 on a system with a VIA C3 cpu

Linux distro/version and kernel version

vendor_id : CentaurHauls
model name : VIA Samuel 2
cpu MHz : 798.000

On this system, I also get many (total 673!) errors due to the lack of a CMOV instruction, when trying to install or update jdk or jre modules. I've enclosed a typical error log file.

The problem is the same on the VIA and the AMD K6 CPU's: this code was built for a 686, not a 586. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS was the last release which supported these processors. The code should have been built to 10.04 standards: allowing lack of CMOV.
