That's interesting because I've been generating what are apparently 32 
bit images on my x86-64 system just by selecting the i386 repo in the 
kickstart script:

repo --name=released 
--baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/

That seems to work fine and indeed the ISOs I've made have been booting 
fine on a 32 bit machine.

Am I doing something wrong?

Rich.
