Hi,
can we get rid of this one, please.
I would like to see this happen but it won't be that easy. One big obstacle is that we won't be able to support more than 3G for many HW configurations without pae kernel because many HW memory regions are mapped above 3G...
Not sure how much not 64 bit capable HW nowadays would be affected. Even Intel Atoms seem to support pae, so this is not really an option.
E.g. my Thinkpad T42p with Pentium M...
Hm, given the fact that i386 shouldn't get installed often, maybe it's just not worth touching this. Removing -pae kernel and favor -desktop flavour instead, shouldn't be a big deal and reduce some kotd ftp and building overhead?
I am not sure but pae seems to be default for >3G RAM these days and desktop is not used, but I might be wrong... -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs SUSE LINUX s.r.o.
