[CentOS] Re: Open Office 1.9.x -- Firefox i386 on x86-64
From: Karanbir Singh <Mail-Lists at karan.org>> Donno about FC3.When I installed FC3 x86_64, I got both for Mozilla, but only x86_64 for Firefox. Closer inspection showed that's exactly what the packages were in the repository.> You need to 'steal' from the i386 repo.. > ( apologies... I should have mentioned that before )Yep. I have tried to "tap" the FC3 i386 repository with both APT and YUM and not always received what I expected. From my 2nd/3rd-hand understanding (i.e., I haven't done it ... yet), SmartPM let's you do all sorts of things to resolve this (like repository priority and other details). If I find a spare 4-6 hours in the next few weeks, I'm going to use SmartPM and document exactly how x86_64 platforms can benefit from its use. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith at ieee.org
