Re: Dropping i686 media for F24

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



My hope that for F24 our download is not an iso image, but rather USB-creator. We could try to
build some kind of GPU detection into USB creator to have it choose a 64 bit image if the 
CPU supports it, and maybe that would help reduce our 32 bit numbers.
