Public bug reported: Quoting https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/installation-guide/i386/hardware- supported.html
"Nearly all x86-based (IA-32) processors still in use in personal computers are supported, including all varieties of Intel's "Pentium" series. <...> However, Ubuntu oneiric will not run on i586 or earlier processors. <...> Support for i586 and lower processors, as well as for i686 processors without the cmov instruction, was dropped in Ubuntu 10.10." Original Pentium is a i586. Is it supported? ** Affects: installation-guide (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/916496 Title: Confusing info about Pentium support in 11.04 and 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/installation-guide/+bug/916496/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
