Use the i386 kernel images, they should run fine on a 486. I don't think the 586 image would work on a 486. I know I once compiled a kernel package using Pentium as the processor type and then mistakenly tried to install it on a 486 machine and it crashed almost immediately. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
