This work could also catch i586, but I am not completely sure, because I do not have a i586 to test with. Anyway, I have moved our notes/status page to: http://wiki.centos.org/Projects/CentOS5PentiumSupport This should provide some information to interested people about what is done, and what needs to be done.
