when i am trying something new, as i am now, i like to pull files so i have them local. saves going back online if i mess something up and have need again.
then, ideally, pull down a copy of the whole '7/*/i386/' tree of the altarch respository, and put it on a local http file server, then you can point the CentOS-*.repo's directly to that and yum will fetch from this local repo.

being 'frugal', yet a short step of 'gung ho', i am saving pages i have already logged and some of the linked pages. if while reading a page and i need to read a page i do not have, i am back at site pulling that page and it's links. after a few more trips to site, i just may well have the whole all of 7 32 bit.
my current count sites that i have pulled is over 250. when i get my new 'playstation' boxen, this one will become my 'local web server'. then i will have to figure out how to run a bot to keep it updated. ;=)
while i am at it, please allow me to pick your brain so i can refresh my forgetful chemo brain.
after the 7-32 fiasco, in attempt to recover grub boot, i booted 6.8 install disk in rescue mode, when in sh, ran chroot /mnt/sysimage.
there is where chemo brain filed.
what is command to restore boot to 6.8 install. it has been a very long time when last had need. now when i do, recall fails me.
