updated it to use ifcpu64.c32, thanks for the notice.
It is currently tested only with F-12 (updated) but it should work with any
release. It can take Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso + Fedora-12-x86_64-Live.iso or
it can build two such from hypothetical custom Fedora-12-LiveCD.ks.
The previous version created biarch DVD. But one could not easily convert it
to USBFlash as livecd-iso-to-disk expects a single directory on the CD/DVD.
As CD/DVD are IMO no longer useful as bootable media this script converts:
uni-arch x86_64 CD/DVD + uni-arch i686 CD/DVD -> bi-arch x86_64+i686 USBFlash
Created it now just for my personal needs; there is missing:
* Some proper integration with livecd tools. Either
* livecd-creator should be able to create biarch CD/DVDs AND
livecd-iso-to-disk should convert such biarch CD/DVDs into USBFlashes.
or
* livecd-iso-to-disk should create biarch USBFlash from two uniarch CD/DVDs.
or
* livecd-iso-to-disk should be able to update uniarch USBFlash with second
uniarch CD/DVD creating biarch USBFlash (=reimplementing this script).
* It does not have EFI. Unaware how to test it and when it is needed for x86*.
* It is an ugly hack.
Some people may think Fedora should stop producing i686.
Unfortunately I still know about two boxes running 32bit only CPUs.
(Running i686 on x86_64 box has no technical benefits; besides some easier
compatibility with proprietary i686 binaries as I heard about.)
