And highly, highly recommended to use a kernel optimized for i686 if that's your real architecture: there's a big performance difference.
since the last mainstream i586 CPU was the original Pentium (60-133Mhz) and Pentium/MMX (up to 200Mhz?), and everything since Pentium Pro, including Pentium-II and newer, has been i686, its a no brainer.
Don't forget AMD's K6 processors -- these are also i586 processors.
