People complain about their being too many i386 binaries in the x86_64 tree as is - and you think having yum default to adding more is going to be helpful? and the reason why using the mirrorlists fail is b/c the mirrorlists use the $ARCH variable which expands out to whatever your arch is on the local system. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
