Processor Type & Features- custom kernel

2000-02-19 Thread Scott Howard
I'm compiling a custom kernel for the first time, and have a question about which processor option I should use- I'm using a Celeron, compiling kernel version 2.2.5-22. The options listed that look likely are: 586/K5/5x86/6x86 Pentium/K6/TSC PPro/6x86MX So, which one should I use? PPro/6x86MX?
