And your answer doesn't answer the OP's question.

I think the OP was asking which "platform" to use.

7.0 is the stable release
and you need the i386 platform.

something like 7.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso is what you need -- burn this
image to CD and then boot off the CD.


The handbook is still an excellent resource.

good luck, feel free to ask questions, after searching a bit.  It makes
us understand the question better and quicker response.

Enjoy!
