Hey Michael:

I was able to get OSCAR 4.0 working with FC3 with a few tweaks.  Let me know if 
you are interested and I can send you the patches.

Concerning x86_64...  I just noticed that SystemImager 3.5.1 (unstable) has 
been posted.  I believe this should have support for x86_64 + 2.6 kernel, so I 
will try integrating it with OSCAR 4.0 and see how it works.

Cheers,

Bernard
