Any updates on this effort? I am going to try an x86_64 FC2 install this afternoon (assuming I can get the isos to download successfully) and I was currious if there were any known tweaks I would need to do like there are for the RHAS installs.
If the x86_64 doesn't work I will drop back to FC2 i386 (or if its possible FC3).
