The way it is gonna work (or suppose to anyway) is you would install 32bit OS as normal, and the installer *should* detect which system you have and install that particular kernel for you automatically. You shouldn't have to do anything manually (having some weird or out of ordinary setup might be different). Downloading the DVD or doing an NFS install and such, should be as normal and automatically it should all work. I don't think it's setup that way currently, but not sure when it will be neither. -- Mike Chambers Fedora Project - Bug Zapper, Tester, User, etc.. mikec302@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
