Anyone working on a Feodore release for X86-64 ?

[Justin M. Forbes]

Actually, I started working with the currend Fedora test2 kernel last 
night to see what it needed, as everything else is ready.  It will be alot 
of work with the Fedora kernel, but perhaps not impossible.  I guess the 
question to the group is, should the AMD64 Fedora Core use 2.6test, 
or should we keep it current with i386 Fedora Core?  If we want to keep it 
current, it might be a bit longer than planned.  The last option would be 
to use a vanilla 2.4.21 kernel and add what patches we can to be as close 
to RH Fedora 2.4.21 as possible.  This might be required over 
keeping current with i386 Fedora Core if some patches cannot be 
fixed in any amount of time.  Honestly, I think 2.6test is generally 
fine for this, but what do others think? I will be glad to work towards 
what people suggest.
