Universal installation CD for x86 does not contain i686-stage3 tar ball.
So I have to download i686-stage3 tar ball ,or change CHOST and emrege system again like stage2.
It is not convenient.

This was on purpose.  Marking as WONTFIX.

I wonder if you could tell me about the purpose.

The purpose or the fact that universal installation CD does not contain i686-stage should be noted on handbook, I think.

No, it shouldn't.  We don't note that the other subarch files are not included on the CD.

The purpose is I chose to opt for a smaller CD by omiting the i686 stage3.  There's nothing else to it.
