Hi all,
my system is an Intel Core 2 Duo, and I installed x86_64 version of
Fedora 7 from scratch, but my /etc/rpm/platform has:
ia32e-redhat-linux
I looked at that, and thought, "Intel 32-bit architecture, EMT technology."
I've read in a lot of places on the net suggestions that it should
contain:
x86_64-redhat-linux
So, should I change it?
Or simply remove /etc/rpm/platform

Thks for the replies.
So, is this a bug? Should I file a bug report? What's the purpose of
the /etc/rpm/platform anyway?
I presume it determines the default/preferred architecture for
installation and/or building. If it's treated significantly different
from AMD-64/x86_64, that's a bug.
