It seems that any way I go about it results in a world of pain... Pain I
can handle, it seems to me the people would rather have the 2.4 kernel as
an option, and for completeness, I would like the AMD64 Fedora to be
package complete with i386 Fedora. I also understand that 2.6test needs
to be tested. I am working the path right now of using the Fedora kernel
and working out the issues. I will submit patches through bugzilla as I
run across them, and hope to get to a codebase that will work for both
platforms by Core release. At the same time, I will be working with 2.6
and keep it inline to be ready for Core 2 beta releases. I intend to see
this port through as long as I am able, and do not mind working through
pain.
