</div></div>Exactly! The problem is: the One shell run on all possible machines, so it<br>
uses the i586 kernel. And there just is not enough space on a CD image to put<br>
another kernel on it.<br>
When you're installing from a Free you get the best kernel for your system.<br>
With a 32bit system using less then approximately 4GB RAM you'll get the<br>
Desktop (i686) kernel, when using more you'll get the Server kernel.<br>

The problem is that people with light DSL ( like I do ) cant get the "Free" version of Mandriva ( Mageia ) and the only option is to DL the One Iso. Thats also what I think of. Most people get the One Iso because it is:<br>
<br>1. A smart Iso, fits on a CD.<br>2. Has all componens Out of the Box ( driver and stuff like that )<br>3. Only ~700MB to download and not 2-3GB ;)<br><br>Thus our main "consumer" are going to DL the One iso. So we have to focus on that. And when there is a Kernel which is going to slow down my System I am not going to use it anymore. I mean what are the main diffrents of them? Only a few configs right? Maybe we do it dynamic and he is autodetecting the System and config the Kernel that way. Is that possible or is then a new building of the Kernel needed? Maybe thats the sulution. I mean where are going to discuss here and it would realy be an improvment, when we allow People to use a modern and fast kernel and not a kernel which is going to slow the system ( well only a bit ) just because there are some people who are proud the use a Pentium II CPU just to be cool. You can get a 64-bit CPU computer for less then 200€. Thats not the problem in my eyes.<br>
Sure it is correct, that they should use 64-Bit Mandriva. But not everyone is doing it. We talk about general configurations and not about a short group of people. Maybe we should think that way.<br><br>I hope you guys understand what I mean ;)<br>
