Sure but how much extra work does this add? We can reuse the same
kickstart files and add/remove packages where it makes sense.

Any pointers to those complains ? This shouldn't be an issue for the
majority of x86_64 boxes (and no I don't talk about boxes without

If there are same rare cases with such hardware they still have the
