Hi,
Has any one know how to skip ix86 packages from installation in Centos kickstart? Most of our machines have 64bit Intel/AMD CPUs, and it make non-sense to still keep 32bit compatibility. Even worse of i*86 packages is, when upgrade we have to recompile both ix86 version and x86_64 version to get an automatic yum upgrade.
I know we could use 'exclude' option to exclude i*86 packages from yum calculation/upgrade; But, if this can be extended to kickstart?
Thanks a lot.

That's funny. I never get 32bit packages on my kickstarted x86_64 boxes. I have to install them seperately on %post.
Garrick and all,
I'm using Kickstart as well. Would you mind to attach the packages selection section of your kickstart configuration file?
My package selection section is attached below, would you mind to have a look?

I think it is one of these groups that are enabling biarch.
My package list has been slowly evolving since RH6, so I suspect there is a lot of useless baggage, but I stopped using the group names a long time ago.

Garrick and All,
I can not find <biarchonly> tag in comps.xml for Centos 5. Anyone know what it exactly means and why it is missed?
Another question is: for group @core, @base and @System-tools, which one has both arch enables(so that will automatically install both ix86 and x86_64 versions libraries)? And how can I disable it through kickstart options?
Please help. Thanks a lot.

The format is not good in my former email, I'll repost it again now.
