As you can see I am total linux newbie. I just started to install the latest Fedora FC DVD download version.
Looking at this forum for help for my WLAN configuration (Netgear 311T with madwifi drivers) I found out that I have to update my kernel (2.6.9-1.667).
I looked to http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386 and wondered, which kernel to use. i586 or i686? Is there a special kernel for athlons?
When I use uname -p I get just athlon.

Found the solution:
i386 > Pentium 1/AMD Klasse
i586 > Pentium 2/Pentium Pro and higher
i686 > P4 /Athlon XP and higher
uname -a helps a lot
