nightmorph 10/07/17 20:18:20 Modified: hb-install-x86+amd64-kernel.xml Log: add note on ia32 emulation support for multilib systems to prevent more user pebkac issues, and so that they have the references to the other non-multilib docs right up front (in addition to their locations elsewhere in the handbooks and FAQ). bug 326691.
