That is what I thought, but how do I instlal a x86 package on an x64?
yum install glibc.i686?
It looked obvious for you, but where is this documented?
How about the yum man page. See the section under MISC called "specifying
package names".
He's on CentOS-3 the man page for yum-2.0 does not have that section.
It's only on the CentOS-4 with yum-2.4.
Maybe I should add it to yum-2.0.x in a next version?

MISC
Specifying package names
A package can be referred to for install,update,list,remove etc
with any of the following:
name
name.arch
name-ver
name-ver-rel
name-ver-rel.arch
name-epoch:ver-rel.arch
epoch:name-ver-rel.arch
For example: yum remove kernel-2.4.1-10.i686

That would have helped :).
but how is arch defined? x86, i386, i686, how does one know?
