When in doubt, read the question.....
The OP wants the i386 version. To the OP: i386 is a relic of the days
when Debian produced i386, i486 and i686 versions. It's all just called
'i386' now, even though I don't believe the 32-bit Debian distributions
would actually run on an i386 computer, or even an i486.
