Is there time to repair this? Sadly, no. At least, not for F7. We've had this discussion every time we've released an x86_64 live image (We call them "Live Images" and not "LiveCD images" for a reason...) x86_64 binaries are just plain bigger than their i386 counterparts.. and then there's the multilib thing. We'd have to drop a *bunch* of packages to make it work, and then i386 users would miss out on the stuff we dropped, for no real benefit. But if you've got an x86_64, it's likely that you also have other new-ish hardware, like a DVD-R drive or a USB flashdrive that's 1GB or larger. (Yes, you can use a USB stick - you don't even need to reformat it, as long as it's got enough free space. For more info: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Live) Either of those will work as boot media for the Live image. And if you don't have those, your x86_64 will still run the i386 CD. Hope that helps. -w
