The stuff in the i586 directory would also be appropriate for any
Pentium.

Basically the different i?86 directories (and I seem to recall seeing
an athlon directory somewhere) are just optimized versions of various
packages for various levels of x86 processors.  i586 should work for
anything >= Pentium (including Pentium compatibles from AMD, Cyrix,
and others), i686 should work for >= Pentium Pro (which includes all
Celerons, Pentium II and II, and possibly K6 and higher), and so on.
You only need one version, and the i386 version is always safe.
