I downloaded and installed VirtualBox on my Windows machine last night. That part went without a hitch.
I had already downloaded the LiveCD and teh DVD.iso for Fedora 10.
I decided to do a complete install so in goes the DVD and start up VBox.
I thought things were going to go well till I saw the message that my proxessor is not an x86-64 and I need to get the i686 version of Fedora. So I put in the LiveCD and everything went smoothly after that.
Why would Fedora say I don't have an x86-64 CPU when Ubuntu says I do. I've been running 8.04 for some time now and installed 8.10 on a different machine. They all have AMD X2's in them, so what's the difference? Where does i686 fit into the streamline of processors? If the kernel recognizes my other processors as an AMD x86-64 architecture, why wouldn't the same kernel in Fedora do it?
I'm not frustrated . . . . YET . . . . .but just a bit confused.
