Redownloading did not help, it actually boots into the installer for
the i686 image even though that's the one I suspected was wrong.

Here's the command I used:
# ../Projects/mkbiarch/mkbiarch.py
./Fedora-13-i686-Live/Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso
Fedora-13-x86_64-Live.iso Fedora-13-biarch-Live.iso

Also, after figuring out I have to add the offset=512 option to mount
in order to mount the volume I see all the files seem to be there for
both arch's. Is it possible that isolinux.cfg is being used instead of
extlinux.cfg? It's still there and could be removed I think.

Also, I've started documenting the functions, (well one anyway so far!
:) ) and added some more status info when the script is running. I've
attached the patch.
