smb kernel support

[Joris Dobbelsteen]

What are the different kernels and capabilities available for 6.06 LTS?

There is a 386, which is for uniprocessors only
These is a 686
There is a 686-smp
There is a K7
There is a K7-smp
How about the AMD64 line of kernels? I guess generic would do.

How about:
* SMP capabilities?
* PAE capable (> 4 Gig ram for i386 range)?

The text give some good pointers, but it doesn't provide the information
what kernel to use. I couldn't really find that anywhere on the web in a
resonable timeframe.
