Basically, i686 is for Pentium Pro/II and later, while i386 covers 386 and 486 CPUs as well. From http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=198771:

Karl,

I know it is many months later on this issue, but I did want to post back and state that I did purchase a Belkin USB-to_PS/2 adapter for the mouse that didn't work - we are good! Everything works! Keyboard, mouse, scroll wheel, etc. Everything!

Thanks for your help!
