Install FC4 32bit. From scratch.

A 32 bit kernel will not run your 64 bit programs (read: *all* the
programs on the disk, with the exception of a few Perl and Python
programs. Which need an appropriate interpreter).

Going from scratch will ensure you don't have any 64 bit binaries lying
around.

Sorry.
