Hi John,
Thanks for the advice. I've already got the --resolvedeps flag but the two
Compatibility install groups weren't in there.
Now on a clean install I get both flavours and am ready to go back to testing.
Thanks all!
Drew.

On RHEL 4, the following works. I haven't tested it on RHEL 3.
Add this to your packages section of your kickstart file.
%packages --resolvedeps
@Compatibility Arch Support
@Compatibility Arch Development Support
(I got this information from a March 1 posting to this list.)
You can also do this via up2date. You will need to use the undocumented
--arch option to get the right version. (--arch=i386 (?) vice
--arch=x86_64) I hope this helps.

Hi all,
We're using KickStart for clusters and Linux deployment in general,
and for the most part we are happy with this. Recently however we
have acquired some 64-bit machines to be added into our cluster and
there are some issues here.
We would like to make these resources available for 64-bit computing,
and have therefore installed primarily 64-bit libraries on them.
However, most of our users run 32-bit applications. At this point
there is not enough need for exclusively 64-bit machines, but I would
like to make the platform available.
According to a colleague there is a way with yum to specify that
whenever installing a package, a 32-bit version of the package, if
available, will be installed. I am not familiar with yum and am
limited to RHEL3, up2date, and rpm, but this is the functionality I am
looking for.
I have looked at the documentation for KickStart (RHEL3 and RHEL4) as
well as browser this mailing list for information, and of course I've
searched the web--nada. Does anybody have any suggestions for how to
handle this?
Thanks,
Drew.
