	I'm installing RH 8.0 on a laptop (Dell C600) I've just received.
This system is an i686. On the RH distro CDs are a lot of RPMs with the
designation i386. Now, when dealing with kernel RPMs, I assume I'd use
those marked i686, but how about other programs? If I try to use one that
is marked i386, will it work or will my laptop start to generate large
quantities of bluish-grey smoke?
