Comment (by notting):

 Replying to [comment:5 robatino]:
 > But why then are the live image directories labeled as i686?  The
 labeling should be consistent, whatever it is, otherwise it confuses
 users.  Besides, the work is negligible compared to that for the
 corresponding package rebuild, and there have been two of those back to
 back.

 The live images were named that way when they supported a different set of
 computers than the base OS release.

 > I'm guessing the reason the i386 directory wasn't labeled i586 earlier
 is that most packages were still i386, not that that was a good reason,
 but at least there was some excuse.

 Um, no. I *said* why the directories are labeled that way. There's no
 reason to make incorrect guesses.
