Do you know how this behaves on x86_64 where there is only an "smp" kernel? I think only uname reports the kernel as smp, everything else (rpm, kernel images, modules dirs, etc.) does not have smp since there is no UP. I guess this will not work for FC4 srpms just yet. Are there plans to implement this feature for FC4 srpms? > Sorry, this in not documented anywhere yet.

Maybe I'll have a little more time here in a couple of months. Although, I do live in the USA. Not sure if that would be an issue or not. Jonathan
