3 Modified: hb-install-x86+amd64-kernel.xml
4 Log:
5 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.
