We have moved it into place here, which is where it is going to live
permanently:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/i386/

I am working on a wiki page now and we are still doing some testing, but
the 32 bit arch should be completely usable right now and installable
(in its final form) from these isos:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/

The 2 bugs listed in the link above are still there:

1.  If installing on a QEMU (kvm) i386 VM, you must modify the VM cpu to
use "copy host cpu"

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8748

2.  The gnome desktop will not exit or log out from the menu.

 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8834

Both have workarounds listed.

We should have a release announcement fairly soon and hopefully EPEL
will start building 32 bit packages soon(ish) as well.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
