On install, Linux 2.4.19-SMP on Opteron system was not recognized as a Linux
PC. Required an install with -no-arch-check. No problems after that.

The -GA option on the command line seems to have quit working.

Not sure if either is intended behavior or not.

Please regard this as feedback rather than any defect report.

That is to be expected.  Although the official binary will probably run 
on an opteron it is surely better to compile from source (which will be 
available soon).

That's somewhat unprecise, you mean '+GAfile' does not generate a file 
with the whole text output?

Since beta phase has ended this is in fact the wrong group for such a 
posting (povray.unix would be correct).

  -GA should suppress almost all the output. It did. It doesn't.
