I had the same problem earlier this week, a clean install on an x86-64, after first boot "yum update" and it didn't work because there were conflicts with frysk. I did: "rpm -e --allmatches frysk ; yum install frysk ; yum update ; " and that worked. I really don't know why there are two versions even of "normal" user applications, I would understand that some libs are needed both 32/64 bit version but application? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't pick lemons.
