But why aren't you running 64-bit Fedora in the first place?
Not sure, guess didn't want to deal with 64/32 bit mixing for flash and
whatever else might have needed. But since then, think flash and
whatever has been fixed to support 64bit so might give it a shot again.
Guess have to reset my rsync scripts heh.
Flash wouldn't have been much of an issue in any case—
nspluginwrapper. It has the nice side effect of also suppressing many
of the flash related crashes that you'd otherwise experience.
(I don't normally run flash, but I installed it (the new 64bit native
version; without using the wrapper) so I could use adobe alchemy to
port a piece of software to the flash VM. I didn't make it through
the day before it crashed my browser. Fortunately I didn't need it any
longer… the crash reminded me to remove it. :)
Flash being entirely userspace relying on userspace libraries wont have
a problem with x86_64 kernel on i586 userspace.
What will likely be problematic (maybe impossible) is dkms or third
party kernel modules for nvidia, fglrx, Virtual Box, kqemu and other
things Fedora does not support anyway.
I suspect gcc 32bit, 32bit toolchain and kernel-devel cannot build
x86_64 kernel modules?
