Package: release-notes Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Looking at <http://bugs.debian.org/609690>, it seems that gcc has been defaulting to -march=i586 at least since squeeze, or r4557 in the GCC packaging SVN [1]. This would seem to indicate that you now need at least a 586 to run Debian. However, section 2.1.2.1 CPU of the release notes still says: > However, Debian GNU/Linux wheezy will not run on 386 or earlier > processors. Despite the architecture name "i386", support for actual > 80386 processors (and their clones) was dropped with the Sarge > (r3.1) release of Debian[2]. (No version of Linux has ever supported > the 286 or earlier chips in the series.) All i486 and later > processors are still supported[3]. This should be updated.
