Hi, I was looking for an Ubuntu distribution that would be working on older hardware. Seeing you were supporting Raspberry Pies and even old PowerPC computers, I was hopeful that the 32bit version would be able to run on my ancient PC.
I tried to boot ubuntu-mate-16.04.1-desktop-i386.iso (on a DVD) on a PC with an AMD K6-III+ 450 with 512MB of RAM, but the installer complained of a lack of PAE and CMOV. But these instructions were introduced in i686 processors and would have never be found in an i386? The K6-III is an i586 processor.
