You'll have to use the non live installer. Also a i586 system probably isn't powerful enough for the dynamic file system in RAM anyways. Last I checked Fedora still did i586 kernel builds. I recall an installer parameter, that you can boot it "linux i586" to force that architecture. I do have a i586 system running CentOS 4, a rebuild of Fedora's commercial cousin, RHEL. http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ The live CD won’t work, it assumes i686.
