We seperate by base arch, where i386 is a base arch, x86_64 is a base arch, sparc is a base arch... i586, i686, athlon, these are all subarches of i386 and thus should reside in the same folder, as RPM, and all your other package management tools are capable of sorting them out. - -- Jesse Keating RHCE (http://geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (http://www.fedoralegacy.org) Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) GPG Public Key (http://geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
