Hi,
Seems the lower harware limit for an install with binary packages is i686.
Using the ones on the livecd-i686-2006.0. There're not even classical binary
packages, but livecd could be used to perform a binary install (haven't made
one though). Assume the target audience was considered too small to bother.
