That is correct.  Although I would add that the designations are for Intel's
and clones such as Cyrix and AMD chips also.  Essentially you need the
package that corresponds to what your chip functions as.

I'm trying to download the source code to configure the kernel and have
three different RPM's to choice from

linux-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm
linux-2.2.14-5.0.i586.rpm
linux-2.2.14-5.0.i686.rpm

I just want to make sure i386 is for old 486's and earlier, while i586's are
Pentiums, and i686's are the new Pentium II and III's. Is this correct?
