[hsflinux] x86

[Melvyn Perez]

Dude, there isn't a "i586" alone.  You can see i386, i586, i686.
i386:  Generic Drivers for any Intel based machines.
i586:  Drivers for Pentium 2 Class & Pentium Pro, Pentium MMX and the first Celeron... (Almost any machines under 300MHZ.
i686:  All recent Pentium 3, Celeron, Pentium 4, and so.

If you're going to compile your own, then you need the generic i386 driver.

Regards, 

Melvyn

Tony, tell me if I'm wrong at any point. ;-)
