Need to force arch for server install...

A PentiumII certainly qualifies as i686, so forcing i586 is not needed.
["$ grep flags /proc/cpuinfo" containing "cmov" and "cx8" means i686.]
By default you may get an operating system kernel that is specialized
for 'athlon'.  If so, then after the install finishes use rpm to
--install the i686 kernel.  Boot i686, then rpm --erase the athlon
kernel.  The kernel is the only .rpm that is specialized for athlon
over i686.  [glibc is specialized for i686 over i386.]
