2gb RAM - rebuild kernel or not ??

[dr j]

hi

i'm about to install fc5 64 bit on a new server system with 2 gb of RAM

does fc5 support 2 gb 'out of the box' or am i going to have to rebuild the kernel ?

if i do have to do a rebuild, any pointers to a comprehensive guide or HOWTO ? (for more or less beginners)

thanks

No.

If you had to use a kernel with a huge memory model, you'd be best off using the kernel_hugemem RPM
