Description Dave Jones 2007-04-30 04:36:29 UTC
do an x86-64 install.
decide you don't want to keep updating all that 32bit stuff you never use, and
do yum remove glibc.i686 which strips out everything 32bit as a dependancy.
confirm with rpm that nothing 32bit is left installed.
wait a while, and yum update, and watch it try to pull in a few hundred MB of
32bit packages due to stuff like this happening..

Installing:
 pidgin                  i386       2.0.0-0.35.beta7devel.fc7 
extras-development  5.8 M
     replacing  gaim.x86_64 2:2.0.0-0.31.beta6.fc7

 pidgin                  x86_64     2.0.0-0.35.beta7devel.fc7 
extras-development  5.8 M
     replacing  gaim.x86_64 2:2.0.0-0.31.beta6.fc7
