586 (Pentium classic) won't work. The 486 (and all pentiums and
clones) is backwards compatible with the 386 ISA. That means that any
valid 386 program can be handled by the 486 (and pentium, etc.)
processor. Install the 386 package. Or build your own (which I
recommend if you are short on memory and disk and want to minimize the
size).
