It's man page says it changes what uname reports as the architecture, so I guess it depends on where yum comes up with basearch. I'm kinda reluctant to try it though since I have no idea how yum might react to a database with tons of x86_64 stuff in it when it thinks the arch is now i386 :-). Maybe when I'm about to regen to FC6, I'll see what it does when I no longer care if my FC5 partition gets corrupted. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
