Are you sure you installed the x86_64 distro?. I don't believe that can be installed/booted on a system that does not have a 64 bit processor. You can easily install the i686 version on a 64 bit system and it will run well with no hiccups that I am aware of. (The 64bit system runs 32bit software with no problems.) BTW, FC only expects a 64bit processor if you are installing the x86_64 version. It otherwise does not care what the processor is. > > Mark > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
