Hi, currently we avoid the 686 kernel image so that the package is not on the CD/DVD.
I've just talked with the kernel team about this, and they think its the wrong
thing to do:
1. the 486 kernel only supports one core
2. the 486 kernel only supports 1 GiB RAM
3. the 686 kernel supports all (i386) CPUs build in the last 10 years, except
the original C3 processor.
Description: Linux 2.6.32 for modern PCs
The Linux kernel 2.6.32 and modules for use on PCs with Intel Pentium
Pro/II/III/4/4M/D/M, Xeon, Celeron, Core or Atom; AMD Geode LX/NX, Athlon
(K7), Duron, Opteron, Sempron, Turion or Phenom; Transmeta Efficeon; VIA
C3 "Nehemiah" or C7 processors.
So to make things easier for a tiny percentage of our users, we make things
harder for the vast majority. I dont think thats sensible.
cheers,
Holger
