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.

Theoretically, anaconda can detect what CPU is installed. That's why they throw up the error when you try to install 64bit on a non-capable system.

However, anaconda's build scripts are all based around architectures, it's just a matter of getting package dirs for both i386 and x86_64 on a DVD and picking the right tree to install from.

I might take a stab at it.

Would anyone like to take up the task of building a combined i386/x86_64 install DVD image ? It *should* be possible, just waiting on someone to try
