Fedora (37) i686 32-bit virt-p2v ?
by Franta Hanzlik
Hi,
I want to virtualize any old i686 Windows XP 32-bit physical PC on F37.
Result from building virt-p2v boot disk:
# virt-p2v-make-disk -o /dev/sde --arch i686
virt-p2v-make-disk: cannot find /usr/lib64/virt-p2v/virt-p2v.i686.xz
You used the '--arch' option, so it’s likely that you will need to build
a virt-p2v.i686 binary yourself.
See p2v-building(1) section BUILDING i686 32 BIT VIRT-P2V for help.
It seems as virt-p2v.i686.xz blob isn't in Fedora (nor 'p2v-building'
man page, but it can be found easily).
What now? I see two possibilities:
1) it is somewhere on Fedora, but not in core repos
2) I have to build it myself - but have no idea about optimal way.
'p2v-building' man page recommends 32-bit chroot (without details),
or (on Fedora) use 'mock' - but it seems it is not there anymore.
Has anyone done this? What optimal way would you recommend?

recommended partition for swap with 0.5 TB memory
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I am trying to install Fedora on to a new machine that has 0.5 TB RAM. Hard drives are 256 GB for / and friends, and 2 TB for /home partition. In the past, it used to be suggested that swap be twice that of RAM: this later changed to the same amount, and now it is very unclear (to me) because I have not tracked the latest recommendations. Anyway, what would you suggest? The machine is a Dell Precision 7920 with 28 cores/56 threads.
Many thanks for any suggestions, and best wishes,
Ranjan
