Why and how? I am aware Fedora's homepage does its best to hide the
i386, but just d/l the iso from the URL you mentioned above and try to
install it.
Unless you have a "really old" machine or are tripping general bugs (I
am not using Mate), this should "just work as usual".

Hello Ralf and Jeff,
thank you for your answers. I finally found the repos descriptions here:
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora-secondary/releases/26/Everything/i386/...
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/local/fedora/26/i386/os/Packages/bellet-relea...
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/remi/fedora/26/remi/i386/remi-release-26-2.fc...
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpmfusion/free/fedora/releases/26/Everything/...
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/releases/26/Everythi...
ftp://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetccrma/26/i386/planetccrma-repo-1.1-3.fc26.ccrma.noarch.rpm
My troubles were especially with the determination of the places of the
Fedora repos itself - thanks to my error with the evaluation of the metalink
reference to the Fedora 26/i386 mirror list, and also because I did not find
mirrors on any server I used before. The explanation was simple - while
the metalink
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-26&arch=x86_64
returns 77 sites of mirrors, the metalink for i386 return only 5 (!) sites
- that were not the ones I was looking for.
Reason why I'm using i386 arch - I have quite a number 8+ year old PCs,
that are quite sufficient for work and have only 0.5 - 2 GB of RAM.
(and although some of them should perhaps run on x86_64, I do not like
actual 32- and 64-bit SW mishmash on x86_64 (F26/x86_64 release has 19281
x86_64.rpm packages and 8200 .i[3456]86.rpm - 30%!). 10+ years ago I was
More than ten years ago I worked with Linux on DEC Alpha servers/ws, and
pure 64-bit wasn't problem - and now, 15 years later, we still sin for
the backward compatibility of x86_64 architecture. ;)
