Time ago I installed a Fedora-10 x86_64 kernel in the Fedora_10 i386 distribution but I got troubles when yum was trying to get updates. Otherwise all was running OK. -thanks- regards, -- «Allá muevan feroz guerra, ciegos reyes por un palmo más de tierra; que yo aquí tengo por mío cuanto abarca el mar bravío, a quien nadie impuso leyes.

IIRC, I did it before by using a x86_64 environment to install it to a i386 root, I meant use rpm command with '-r' argument. I think this is definitely reasonable for people who want use i386 distro for compatible reason and also want use large address space. Thanks, Wenming
