[And yes there are still many Fedora 08 systems showing up for x86_32] Personally I think the number of those systems which are running Pentium III hardware with the latest OS are probably already on this mailing list.. I expect that they would also be looking at only needing to support a small subset of the software since running GNOME/KDE with usually 128->512 MB of RAM is not possible. It also would probably want a very stripped down installer since anaconda is aimed at 'current' hardware... probably something like the images that ARM-32 makes. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/CKOZSPOK63LLQK5MOVV6J4JX4COYI7XK/
