So, unless you download the src.rpm and build it yourself, you will not get one. There is no maintenance for 32 bit anymore, so probably not a good idea. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 Or, you could continue to run F27 PAE kernels on F28 until F27 goes end of life, or a dependency problem arises. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Fedora-27-Might-Drop-i686-Kern The suggestion there seems to be to buy new hardware, or move to a distribution that continues to support PAE. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
