If you don't have any i386/i686 packages now you can add this to your /etc/yum.conf file: exclude=*.i386 *.i586 *.i686 To see if you have any i386 / i686 packages do this ... 1. Add this line to a file called .rpmmacros in your home directory: %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch} 2. Run this from the commandline: rpm -qa | grep i[3,5,6]86 | sort -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
