Re: [CentOS] How to know it's i586?

AMD K6 is i586, via C3, and normal pentium ... correct. For those, you would use i586 to boot.

For everything else (ie, the vast majority of x86 PCs, just press enter as usual :)

Ahm, so I should *not* use the i586 pxeboot kernel on a Pentium III (3)? I saw that it's new in addition to the normal kernel in the pxeboot directory. If the i586 is *only* for i586, then I'm better off to use the normal kernel on a Pentium III and newer? I'm using the pxeboot kernel just to start a remote VNC installation.
