Hi Doug,

Are you saying that you can install a 64bit kernel on a current 32bit
system and then end up with a running system.?

I thought you couldn't replace a 32bit kernel with a 64bit kernel but
had to *install* with an actual 64bit kernel to get any benefit. 

Or does the replacement 64bit kernel just run in 32bit mode? (although
that is still better than a 32bit kernel, apparently.)
