If your machine is a multi-processor system, install also the last one. Whether or not to install the bigmem kernel depends on whether you like to use more than 4 GiB of RAM. > Should I install also "kernel-BOOT-2.4.20-19.9.i386.rpm" after installing > three packages for i686 ?

The 2nd one is for software development.
