Description Owen Taylor 2008-05-06 16:54:02 UTC 
I wanted to be able to build livecd images for both i386 and x86_64 on an x86_64
machine, and couldn't figure out an easy way to do it (without running
livecd-tools from a chroot), so I came up with the following patch that allows
specifying --basearch=i386 on the command line, overriding the detected value.

Just use setarch(8)
  setarch i386 livecd-creator ....

Ah. I RTFS'ed and saw it first checking /etc/rpm/platform, but I didn't
realize that /etc/rpm/platform doesn't actually exist on x86_64.
