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?
Look at what's there, it's fairly obvious.
'uname -i' is probably a better option than digging through cpuinfo.
sure:

I don't know _why_ that happens; it was just the first one to hand.
