+ <li>Following <a href="https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#i386-is-now-almost-i686">Debian's switch</a>, the 32-bit PC support (known as the architecture 'i386' and what's provided by '<a href="/faq/#flavours">grml32</a>') now no longer covers a plain i586 processor.
+ The new baseline is the i686, although some i586 processors (e.g. the 'AMD Geode') will remain supported.
+ The following shell script may be a useful indicator (assuming only one processor is installed in the machine):
+
+<pre>
+ if grep -q '^flags.*\bfpu\b.*\btsc\b.*\bcx8\b.*\bcmov\b' /proc/cpuinfo; then
+ echo "OK (assuming all CPUs are of the same type)"
+ else
+ echo "NOT OK: Missing one or more of the required CPU extensions"
+ fi
+</pre>
+ </li>
