That's really not obvious from the obvious documentation.
Both Hardware Notes and the Handbook ("2.2. Minimum Hardware Requirements")
state support for 486 and up, but there's no hint that you had to
roll you own distribution set for anything below 686. Also, GENERIC's
conf on i386 has flags I486_CPU and up.

Christoph
