Just remove the 64-bit version like: # yum remove firefox Go to your favorite local mirror and grab the lateset 32-bit version from updates and install it: rpm -ivh firefox*.i386.rpm or whatever the name is. I use firefox since it is easier being only one package. Then you can either search the web for an rpm someone has made that will install it, or look at the install script and manually copy the necessary files. This is necessary because the script, as you have found, refuses to install on the 64-bit architecture. Jonathan PS: You might want to search the archives before you ask questions. This one should be in there, though it has been a while, so you'd probably have to dig a while to find it. There are also suggestions about searching the archives in the archives : ).
