[CentOS-devel] combined x86_64 and i386 install media

[Karanbir Singh]

Matt,

love the enthu! however, hang on for a second there. We dont need to 
rebuild the entire distro. syslinux is quite happy with having 2 sets of 
kernels to boot :)

And a fair few pkgs on the i386/ and x86_64/ tree can be hardlinked 
inside the iso to save space... I'd first start down that route.
