This would be difficult since Ubuntu has dropped support for i486 ages ago: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2008-September/005385.html The i386 is an architecture identifier, not a promise to actually function on the original i386 It would appear that Ubuntu has preemptively implemented your suggestion :) -- John C.
