I'm no expert, but I've seen this before building x86_64 boxes for Oracle. You can include "rpm -i http://repo/i386/package.i386.rpm" in %post. The 'rpm -i' command will install them alongside their x86_64 counterparts. I have not yet tried making a package group, but that strikes me as a great way to implement this. Make a package group @deps of just these i386 rpms, then include @deps in your %packages section. -j -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steven Timm Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 9:43 AM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: how to force inclusion of i386 packages in x86_64 distro Hi-- I have an x86_64 install that I am doing, which needs to be sure that about 20 i386-flavored rpms of various shared libraries are included in the install as well. Is there any way to force this in a regular kickstart file, if so, how? Thanks Steve Timm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven C.
