Yes I was a bit confused as to that point, although it was secondary to 
my main concern. I did not realize that the x86_64 system could not see 
the i386 repo. I figured that there being a plethora of both i386 and 
x86_64 packages installed, the 64bit systems must be able to see both. I 
see now how it's setup. Thanks.
