Some 32bit people that I try to convince to switch to Fedora do not understand that ISOs and RPM packages with 'i386' in their name are modern and not meant for 13 year old computers. I was thinking that names such as: 'Fedora-12-x86-DVD.iso' instead of 'Fedora-12-i386-DVD.iso' and 'Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso' look more modern and up-to-date. reflecting the contents od the ISOs and packages. Fedora is a great product. I appreciate you efforts and your work. And I congratulate all of you that work to produce it. So name them as you wish. Which I am sure that you will do. :-) Have a good day. -- David
