As subject says. I just noticed that Anaconda allows x86_64 CD/DVD to be used to install i386 system (using network installation, of course). This is basically broken. For example, yum will believe that it is installed on x86_64, not on i386. So when you do for example yum update, it will try to install x86_64 packages on i386 system. Which isn't going to fly, since installed kernel is 32-bit (so you get broken executables). It can also play havoc with postinstall scripts that will detect they are being run under 64-bit kernel during installation, but resulting system is really 32-bit. -- See Ya' later, alligator! http://www.8-P.ca/
