I'm not sure the K5 is pentium equivalent. I think it was the failed attempted by AMD to make a pentium like chip, though it is only i486 compatible. > All goes well until after booting off the auto install diskette and files > are being copied over to the client machine, then after several minutes the > transfer stops.

This is because OSCAR builds an image for the arch that the server is. (in this case i686). You can avoid this issue by removing all *.i586.rpm and *.i686.rpm files from /tftpboot/rpm.
