People are complaining b/c yum is not seamlessly handling i686 -> kernel-PAE. I agree with it is simplest to do it manually if the user thinks they need the PAE kernel - which is what I said before. So I think we're on the same page and I think what we have right now works. I'll do a quick test in a kvm to be sure I'm not making stuff up :) -sv -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
