Jonathan, Okay, so I read you response to imply that if I used 'rpm -Uvh' to install a i386 package which is already installed in the x86_64 architecture that it would remove the x86_64 version in favor of the i386 one, correct? Also is it still true that if 'yum install' is used to install a package that both the i386 and x86_64 versions will be installed if they exist? Jack
