Description

I was looking for very lean Linux distro for young children to run on old/low-end hardware. DoudouLinux looked perfect, but when running the install, it looks like there is no support for i586 CPU architecture (cmov required). Would it be possible to add i586 support in a future version? This would add great value for people looking to provide a child their own low-cost/disposable computer.

I realize that most live CDs lack support for i586, so perhaps a direct hard drive installer would be the most appropriate for this situation (http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch02s01.html.en#id583669). Such a solution would also get the maximum utility out of limited system resources.

Thank you for your consideration,
Robert Stiles
