The second issue is yum's default behaviour of installing all available archs for the requested package, which annoys me quite a lot. Today alone I had to re-run yum quite a few times after wanting to install some devel packages I needed to phpize some PHP modules... no, I don't want the 32bit devel package! ;-) Oh, silly question, but : When installing both firefox packages, is the 32bit version run by default!? If so, how come, and is it the same for all other packages (I seem to have quite a few installed as both 32 and 64 bit and I'd prefer to be running the native versions) or does firefox already have some kind of special treatment?
