+While there is kernel support for this platform in &debian; 8, it is not
+supported by the &d-i;.  It is possible to do a <quote>dist-upgrade</quote>
+from Debian 7 to Debian 8 for existing installations, though.  Due to the
+low amount of RAM that platforms based on the IXP4xx usually have, this
+requires that swap space is enabled prior to upgrading. Support for the
+IXP4xx will probably be dropped completely in &debian; 9.
