I was trying to find out how to best spit out what i386 RPMs I had loaded on x86-64 and is VERY APPLICABLE TO THOSE OF US RUNNING DESKTOPS/WORKSTATIONS WHERE WE NEED I386 BINARY COMPATIBILITY!!! Maybe some of you have not yet experienced the x86-64 port, but x86-64 binaries canNOT call i386 libraries/plug-ins and vice-versa. After all, I was trying to help someone else with this exact issue. But in the end, I did post how to use "YUM" to list all of the packages that I had loaded that were not in the _stock_ repositories which is _very_applicable_ to CentOS, CentOS Plus, CentOS Extras, etc... with "yum At this point, I am going to *** HORDE MY KNOWLEDGE *** because I'm sick and tired of the IGNORANCE OF SOME PEOPLE who think something is off-topic when it's *CORE* to RHEL/CENTOS. I don't know how many times I've posted something and people thought it was off-topic when it was only viewed that way because of their *IGNORANCE* -- not mine. ;-> Think about that for a moment. I know I have posted things off-topic before (e.g., server hardware), but some things that have 100% to do with maintaining i386/binary/libraries on the x86-64 are 100% on-topic IMHO! Again, maybe some of you haven't deal with a desktop/workstation where they are -- even I hadn't on x86-64 servers _until_ I started deploying x86-64 desktops, but I'm tired of this "attitude" based on the the *IGNORANCE* of some people. > I am sure you are aware of the fact that using these repo's > on a CentOS Machine will cause you more damage than most > people really want. You can use CentOS i386, CentOS Plus i386, CentOS Extras i386, maybe DAG. to find the _equivalents_. I was _not_ advocating he use my Fedora repositories. I was saying here are the packages _not_ in Fedora Core, Extras and Livna.ORG that you will probably find in the CentOS equivalents. > How about a list of pkgs and dep's required to get i386 > Multimedia working well on a x86_64 CentOS Machine ? No, because that would be "off-topic" -- especially if I asked how to do it with RPM/YUM which seems to be "off-topic." I'm outta here. -- Bryan J.
