686 w/o 64: Whence?

[Beartooth]

I downloaded F26 and tried to install it to an old T42 Thinkpad 
(which currently has F22; I haven't been using it). It says it can't even 
boot, but needs 686 architecture withOUT 64-bit.

So I went back to getfedora.org, and started looking-&-mousing 
around. (I want Gnome2 with Mate, or if not that, with Xfce.) Is it even 
there?

What file did you actually download? There are both 32bit and 64bit images
available...

Thanks,

A 32-bit live ISO is in the right column under "Other Downloads".

Note that a Google search for "32 bit fedora xfce download" will take
you right there.
