greetings.

today i attempted to update update for the nss-util. i selected the
x86_64, clicked apply, error message popped up showing a conflict
because the i686 was also installed.

opened yumex to see what i686 was installed and found a bunch of i686.

because system is a dual core 64 bit, i decided to remove all i686
packages, programs first, then lib files.

during reboot, thought hit that there may be some i686 packages that
should have been left in. maybe for wine.

this is same system that due to fresh install problems, i installed
via 64 bit live dvd.

in "closing the gate after the horses have left the corral", i am
asking is what i did good or bad.

tia.
