== x86_64 Specifics for Fedora ==
This section covers any specific information you may need to know about Fedora Core and the x86_64 hardware platform.
- (!) The default kernel in x86_64 architecture provides SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processor) capabilities to handle multiple CPUs efficiently. This architecture does not have a separate SMP kernel unlike x86 and PPC systems.

- {{{ The disk space requirements listed below represent the disk space taken up by Fedora Core [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] after the installation is complete.

This additional disk space corresponds to the size of `/Fedora/base/stage2.img` on Installation Disc 1 plus the size of the files in `/var/lib/rpm` on the installed system.

This additional disk space corresponds to the size of `/Fedora/base/stage2.img` on Installation Disc 1 plus the size of the files in `/var/lib/rpm` on the installed system.
In practical terms, additional space requirements may range from as little as 90 MiB for a minimal installation to as much as an additional 175 MiB for an "everything" installation. The complete packages can occupy over 9 GB of disk space.
- Additional space is also required for any user data, and at least 5% free space should be maintained for proper system operation. }}}

=== RPM Multiarch Support on x86_64 ===
- {{{
'''RPM''' supports parallel installation of multiple architectures of the same package. A default package listing such as {{{rpm -qa}}} might appear to include duplicate packages, since the architecture is not displayed. Instead, use the {{{repoquery}}} command, part of the `yum-utils` package in Fedora Extras, which displays architecture by default. To install `yum-utils`, run the following command:
- ##{{{ su -c 'yum install yum-utils'
+ {{{ su -c 'yum install yum-utils'
- ##}#}}
+ }}}
To list all packages with their architecture using {{{rpm}}}, run the following command:
- ##{{{ rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n"
+ {{{ rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n"
- ##}}}
+ }}}
You can add this to `/etc/rpm/macros` (for a system wide setting) or `~/.rpmmacros` (for a per-user setting). It changes the default query to list the architecture:
- ##{{{ %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
+ {{{ %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
- ##}}}
