hmmm, that repository has no 32 bit RPMs.

http://mirror.steadfast.net/centos/7/os/

but they do exist here, http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/ and 
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/updates/

so you might need to tweak your /etc/yum.repos.d files a bit.

will not be first time i have had to tweak repo files.

this is day is reminding me of my old saying;

   geo: why me Lord?
  Lord: why not george?
   geo: thank you anyway Lord.
  Lord: any time george.

anyway, this has been a long day after a short night of sleep.

went into kitchen to refresh my yeti mug and felt someone stepping
on my heels. turn around to see who, it was my butt dragging. 8=D

will put off getting lt back to booting 6.8 tomorrow. i have not run
'grub-mkconfg' for a few years, just hope i do not have problems
with that too.

btw, what area of western side do you roam?

Additionally, most 3rd party repos (e.g, epel above) do not ship 32-bit 
packages for el7 as there is no 32-bit offering of RHEL from Red Hat. So 
not much point configuring them in yum.

hi Ned, you up late or early on your side of the pond?

the above altarch 7 repos links do have both 32 and 64 bit directories.

after reading John's post, i logged them and bookmarked both.

when i am trying something new, as i am now, i like to pull files so
i have them local. saves going back online if i mess something up and
have need again.
