is there a plan to make a "joined" distribution that, at install time,
picks the right kernel and architectures to install? That would be
really neat
Especially for Computer-Magazines and on fairs/FUNCon's where we hand
out DVD's. Having one Media that can handle both architectures would
simplify a lot of things and lower the cost.
(Would even be better if the DVD would bundle i386, x86-64 and a i386
Live-DVD)
