Trinity, live - 32bit / i686-pae

Good day!
On downloads page I can not see Q4OS Centaurus, Trinity, live - 32bit / i686-pae.
Have you dropped support for this architecture? If so why?

No, we haven't dropped it. Please use the "Q4OS Centaurus, Trinity, install-cd - 32bit / i386", it will autodetect and install PAE kernel & modules, if available in hardware. See the announcement on news page https://www.q4os.org/blog.html#news190715

...
Q4OS Centaurus is based on Debian Buster 10 and Plasma 5.14, optionally Trinity 14.0.6, desktop environment, and it's available for 64bit and 32bit/i686pae computers, as well as for older i386 systems without PAE extension.

Hello
Please :-), prepare for the download page the normal live version of Q4OS Centaurus, Trinity, live - 32bit / i686-pae. :-)

Q4OS Centaurus, Trinity, install-cd - 32bit / i386 "- NO NO autodetects and installs PAE kernel & modules" on very very old computers.
We need Q4OS Centaurus, Trinity, live - 32bit / i686-pae and hence we can install it. :-) :-)

We have been promoting Q4OS for many years: bygra.pl

@SP2ST
Thanks for promoting. You can safely use the "Q4OS Centaurus, Trinity, install-cd - 32bit / i386" for both, pae as well as non-pae 32bit hardware. Installer detects the cpu flags, and decides, whether to install the 686-pae kernel, or i386-non-pae according to the hardware detected. The live media wouldn't do anything more, it even would install the 686-pae kernel only, but not the non-pae. So, the installation-cd serves in a significantly better way for any kind of 32bit computers.
