Well, this one seems easy: don''t you mean:

Doing 32 bit operating systems on 64-bit systems is still a bit of an 
adventure.

Excuse me, but where is this Fedora 7 from? Do you mean the 6.93 beta?

OK, where is this website from? Is it local to you? If not, maybe it''s 
ovrewhelmed or timing out, or not a good mirror. Can you use a local 
mirror, or make one?

Fedora 7 has been out for a while (http://fedoraproject.org/). I can
get 32bit guests working fine in 32bit OS but my system has 32GB of ram
so I need to use a 64bit OS to see past 16GB of ram. Fedora 7 is
supposed to support 32 and 64bit guests but I can''t get it to work as
its supposed to...
