I'm a docker newbie trying to follow the recommended installation and
verification procedure for running docker on 14.04 trusty, as described
at

  https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/

I seem to have figured out the workaround that is being referred to
here, so I'll post what I did in hopes that it will help other newbies
that aren't sure what to do to run docker on the ubuntu-provided 32-bit
(i686) environment.

After installing the docker package, instead of running

  sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

try this:

  sudo docker pull i686/ubuntu
  sudo docker run -i -t i686/ubuntu /bin/bash

A few times I've gotten this error:  "finalize namespace drop
capabilities operation not permitted", but I'll leave that issue for
another place.  Trying the "docker run" command again typically works,
and gives me a root bash shell in the new environment.
