i586 or i686

[glennzo]

Those of you playing with Fedora 11. Is your kernel i586 or i686? Mine is i586 although there was no indication that I was downloading one or the other when I got the Alpha ISO.

2.6.29-0.159.rc6.git3.fc11.i586

[glennzo]

Thanks Bob. That's all I need to see. Same as mine. I thought that I somehow got the wrong ISO.

can I choose option 3 .... none of the above .... as mine is x86_64?

make a new thread elsewhere in another sub-forum, not this one, this is for fedora11, not 10 you'll get help then

shinaj , you should open a new thread for your question in the appropriate part of the forum.

x86_64 shows, that it is made for a 64bit processor (mostyl duo core) and not the the 32 bit one (i586 or i386)
