-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Wouldn't that require many packages to be reinstalled if they have a 64-bit package? That could vary wildly from the "default" packages to all of them. I guess it could be possible for yum to know what packages have 64-bit versions and be able to swap them out. It could be automated. I'm not sure how often it would be used, though. I went from F7 64-bit to F8 32-bit last time around just because I had so many problems getting the non-open source software to function properly.
