The installer may run in whatever floats the boat, which can be as low as 32-bit non-PAE. It's just the *installed* system that needs/wants to be 32-bit-PAE or 64-bit, does not it? Idea: would not this BTW reduce the number of ISOs that have to be sent to the ftps? Drawbacks? The installer runs of course without PAE.
This would change nothing and hadn't there been reported problems would have happened with 10.3 as-is without any noticable difference.
(Just in case you missed: would not it make sense to run the installer always in 32-bit mode?)
No. When installing 64 bit packages, post-install scripts would want to use the installed binaries.
same for hardware configuration, there is no guarantee that the configuration uses the same drivers and/or settings for 32/64 bit. -- with kind regards (mit freundlichem Grinsen), Ruediger Oertel (ro@novell.com,ro@suse.de,bugfinder@t-online.de) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Linux Fatou 2.6.22.9-0.4-default #1 SMP 2007/10/05 21:32:04 UTC x86_64 Key fingerprint = 17DC 6553 86A7 384B 53C5 CA5C 3CE4 F2E7 23F2 B417 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
