Dude, take it easy. Calm down.
I did not spend more than one 1minute on it. I downloaded the Red Hat Beta 6 and tried to install it on the laptop. At the moment I saw there was no PAE support... I stopped trying.
Then came this thread and was just wondering if it could be done. Just for the *fun* of it.
There is actually a reasonably-legitimate reason to want such a kernel, perhaps even an i386 version, which is the ability to boot thin clients with LTSP. It can, of course boot a different kernel than the server runs, but it needs to be something maintainable (i.e. already being maintained...) and kept in sync with the rest of the system.
