Hi,
I would like to have a unified kickstart file for both my i386 and x86_64 installs. So I have two questions:
1. Is there some way to detect whether the processor is 32/64 bit in a %pre script?
See /proc/cpuinfo
2. Will the 32-bt installer install the 64bit rpms if I point it at a 64bit install tree?
I'm Doubtful, but try it. What's the cost of a failure?
I figured /proc/cpuinfo would be the ticket, but I have no clue what to look for. Where can I find the docs for all of the info in /proc/cpuinfo?
'uname -i' is probably a better option than digging through cpuinfo.
