In the F12 Release notes it indicates that i586 support is gone in F12 and i686 is the the support available.
Are there any implications of that to running F12 on a Pentium 4 machine?
I think that Pentium 4 was the start of the i686 regime for intel. The P3 is a i586 device, as is the AMD K6 series. The AMD Duron and Athlon were the start of i686 for that line.
*bzzzt* WRONG
If what you said were true, then F12 couldn't be running on my 1GHz PIII. But, it *is* running. And "uname -a" claims:
Linux linux.framingham.ma.us 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:41:45 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
But, I agree that the AMD K6 *is* an i586. (yeup, I have one of those too.)
In other words, you are good to go.
Yes, if the PIII is i686, then the PIV is too.
And so is a PII, since it came after PentiumPro.
