You want multilib, enable the i386 repo. I doubt that we have any statistics on people willingly using multilib, but I know I got it on my x86_64 machine and I sure as hell didn't want it for anything besides firefox. ~spot -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
