Got a question for ya, I just got an Athlon 64 3200 machine which I installed my i386 FC5 cd's to. I'm lurking and waiting to see if everyone agrees that the 64bit install is solid. But, when I try to install the nVidea module drivers, yum refuses to do so saying it need an i686 kernel installed. This is after it dnloads everything and barfs and erases the rpms as it shuts down. I haven't gotten as far as getting the Dvd burner working yet, to burn FC5 / 64. I'm standing in a pool of my own ignorance of things 64 bit. Can I go ahead and devel on this machine and update/upgrade to 64bit? Or is that done only from a CD install and I best get about it before investing time in re-configuring this machine to my personal needs?? Chicken or the Egg? Which DvD burn application stands the best chance of burning a Fedora Dvd? Or, can yum handle the procedure? Lotsa questions, sorry. You just seem to have an experienced perspective. :) Ric
