Bug Description
The natty bzr branch of the installation guide says:
"However, Debian GNU/Linux maverick will not run on 386 or earlier processors."
http://
The Maverick release notes say:
"With 10.10 we have also dropped support for i586 and lower processors, as well as i686 processors without cmov support."
https:/
Having read both these documents it's far from clear if Maverick onwards will run on i486 and i586 processors. If someone clarifies that I am happy to submit a patch to the installation guide.
