That's a different ball of fun. This is about having one single piece of media that can serve as either a 32bit install media, or a 64bit install media, and which you get would depend on the syslinux menu item you boot, which would be driven by what arch CPU you have (or forced by the user). That shouldn't require any yum hackery at all. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
