32 bit support

Will EFA run on a 32 bit CPU? Looking at the net install script, it points to x86_64 for the install source, but after that I don't see any specific refrences to packages that would be 64 bit only.

It should work but we build everything on 64bit, we don't see any reason to also provide an 32bit build.

As the systems requires a minimum of 4GB memory and for a larger install even more, using 32bit would be useless.

I have an old hp dl380 g3 sitting around with 6gb of ram in it. I might try it this weekend and see what happens. I am not sure I would be able to toss enough traffic at it to create a valid test though. Sounds like a fun drinking project.

I finally got around to testing this, and yes, 32 bit works. I copied the kickstart script to a local web server and modified it to use the 32 bit repo. After that everything worked as expected. I really don't know how well it handles load though. I only get a dozen or so spam emails a day, so I don't have a good way to test it.
