In that case it is probably safe to remove them. The move from FC11 to FC12 was an upgrade. There is probably some i686 (i386) left on my system that I don't even remember putting there. Instead of looking for them I will make FC13 a virgin install. It could be all kinds of stuff. One of the reasons I use Fedora is to try out new things (at least, new to me). If I wanted hard rock stability I would go to another distribution such as Ubuntu or Debian. -- Regards Bill Fedora 12, Gnome 2.28 Evo.2.28, Emacs 23.1.1 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
