With YUM 2, in the yum.conf file, there is a
specification to update only the current architecture.
I imagine you can delete that line.
Check your man page for yum.conf for details.
What's in your etc/YUM.CONF file? Can you post it
here?
Cheers,
Brian
P.S. Why would you install everything? Doesn't that
make you vulnerable? Isn't it hard to keep your
system updated?
