You would not be the first person to install the wrong architecture package and end up with a totally hosed system. Face it - what you're trying to do is a hack. It's totally unsupported, and although it may work most of the time, there is definite room for error and system hosability. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
