I don't know enough about Fedora installation to know what,
if any, processor related optimizations are made in the install
instead of boot time.
I don't think it makes any difference now. Years ago (not sure
how many), there was both the 386 and 686 kernels and that was
decided by the installer. Now, the only possible difference if
you aren't installing 64-bit is whether you get the PAE kernel or
not. And I don't know how that's decided or even if there is a
choice.
There also used to be a distinction between kernels
compiled for a single core processor and ones for a machine with multiple cores - though at that time
(AFAIR) CPU chips normally had only one core, so we are talking
about motherboards with slots for 2 or more CPU chips. Also, I
think they were all 32 bit, at least the ones I might be able to
afford....
