Installing centOS in i686

I am not able to find any references related to installing centOS in i686 machine ?

Is it supported or not ?

This does not list it at all, so a little bit confused CentOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No luck with google also ! Appreciate if somebody can help. Thanks.

i686 is a kind of 32-bit x86 architecture -- specifically the more modern modern kind, using instructions available only on Pentium Pro and up. Earlier pentiums and down aren't i686 compatible.

Nearly any consumer linux distribution will run on i686.
