I am preparing to make my own kernel, but I have a question about
the processor options.

The GENERIC config file has options for 386, 486, 586, and 686 processors.

I am using a Cyrix 6x86MX, and therefore the 686 option seems to make
the most sense, but the LINT config file says the 586 is for Pentium
processors and the 686 is for Pentium Pro processors.

I am unsure which option to choose, and would appreciate it if someone
could give me a clue.

Thanks,
	Michael
