Hi, |
| 25 |
Seems the lower harware limit for an install with binary packages is i686. |
| 26 |
Using the ones on the livecd-i686-2006.0. There're not even classical binary |
| 27 |
packages, but livecd could be used to perform a binary install (haven't made |
| 28 |
one though). Assume the target audience was considered too small to bother. |
