There is a report on it, but I don't know it offhand. The current idea I had was that we simply do all the massaging in the archiso hooks. That is, we create one CD with two different base images and two kernels. The menu items would indicate i686 or x86_64 kernels, and would choose the right aufs image for that architecture.
Yes, this effectively doubles the size of these CDs, but I'm not too sure I want to ship the dual arch CDs regularly. What do you guys think?
For FrOSCon 2009, I created the CD by hand: I took initramfs images from both CDs (removed the legacy-ide one because space wasn't enough) and all squashfs images, manipulated isomounts and grub manually. I didn't need to modify anything but isomounts and grub for it to work! We should put -any packages into a separate squashfs to save some space, although I suspect with the addition of the lts kernel to core, it won't fit anymore. Another note: The squashfs author submitted lzma support to 2.6.33, but his pull thread was ignored and unanswered :(
