This is pretty much the most useful thread I've ever been a part of on
the CentOS mailing list!!
Thanks a ton to everyone who helped!!
Also the senior SA I work with gave me this little gem today:
yum -y remove $(yum list installed | awk '{print $1}'| egrep -v
"(x86_64|noarch)")
But of course make SURE you uname -a and make sure the arch is right
before you do because of the -y flag or of course just remove it if
that makes you more comfortable!
Best!
