Also, IIRC the MMX was i586-class, so you should be able to remove i386 and i486 from your config file.
MMX is a CPU instruction set, it can be implemeted on any CPU and says nothing about the CPU class.
But his machine is indeed probably a i586.

You can check with:
Code:
 % dmesg | grep CPU
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP (1252.85-MHz 686-class CPU)
