I was wondering if there there is an "offical" site where I can get pentium 
optimized versions of the 2.1.5 binaries for X.  I am working with very 
limited disk space and don't think I can recompile the source, even using a 
union filesystem.

Related question:  Is it safe to turn on the pentium optimization for the 
kernel, Xfree86, Mesa, etc?  What sort of performance improvement can be 
expected? I am running on a 90 Mhz machine with an ATI graphics pro turbo 
(Mach 64).

Thanks,
