[SLL] 32 bit distro that supports 4GB ram with stock kernel

[Eric Kahklen]

I just booted up into the Fedora Beta 9 64bit live disc and it looks like
I can now see all 4 GB of ram:

[fedora at localhost ~]$ cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:      3946316 kB
MemFree:       2307032 kB

On a side not, this new version of Fedora looks pretty nice :)

Thanks for the help!
