It is not look good. Maybe I should switch my virtual host to F30 or some other distro with i686 spport. But - now I don't know if I understand this correctly - Windows XP PC is old, with Core2 Duo [email protected] CPU and 2 GB RAM (can be increased at least to 4 GB), but IMO HW is 64-bit capable - maybe is possible convert this 32-bit WinXP system when booting 64-bit F37 'virt-p2v' boot disk? --- Franta Hanzlik _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
