Hi all. Decided to upgrade an old Slackware 10 box I had. The box is running a VIA C3 processor and apparently doesn't support the cmov extension that most i686 processors do. As a result I cannot install CentOS 5.
I discovered a few posts from way back in April:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-April/079352.html http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-April/079439.html
Implying that an i586 version of the installer might be released.
Was something along those lines ever done, or could it still be done? Or should I just stick with CentOS 4 for the time being?
(I did try 'i586 text' on my netboot 5.1 CD)
Thanks, Ray

It appears there's a bug filed on this already:

As well as a Wiki page:
