and for my web server, dmesg shows the same thing although is has a
AMD Sempron 1800BOX3100+
I see in the documentation that CPUTYPE=i686 is for older Pentium
types, so
does that mean I should use CPUTYPE=i686 (even though dmesg shgows
'686-class CPU')
And my kernel file then? cpu I686_CPU or I586_CPU.
What should I use for my laptop? For my web server?
Both of your machines are 686-class machines, using -mpentium or -
mpentiumpro would be fine. There is an advantage to not compiling
the kernel with 386 and 486 suppport, but after that the difference
between 586 and 686 is fairly minimal....
