I run IPCop on i486, i586 (true Pentium) and i686 (Pentium
Pro) systems.

Yes.  The K6 is largely i686 compatible (sans cmov), so it at
least runs the i586 installer.  The 5x86 is definitely an
i486.

As much as some would mind me recommending another solution
on the CentOS list, I feel I must.  Consider IPCop 1.4.  It
is a "Linux from scratch" distro (no longer Red Hat Linux
based as of 1.3.0 I believe, maybe it was 1.2.0?).

Bryan, IPCop installed and working fine. Thanks for the suggestion. Hope 
I edited this right. I'm not familiar with replying from a DIGEST form.
