Bug Description

The installation guide [1] reports that oneiric is not supported on i586 or earlier processors. Changes in Debian did indeed drop support for i386 and older processors, but i486 and newer are still supported [2].

The installation guide for previous versions of Ubuntu contains the same text. (I did not check to see how far back this goes.)

Also, I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on an i586 processor.
