RE: Moving RH-8.0 to another architecture (586/686)

Hey, remember that Trmac was right and I was wrong. They can be replaced
with one command:

(make sure you remove the glibc-debug* packages first)

# rpm -Uvh glibc-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm openssl-0.9.6b-29.i386.rpm \
--oldpackage 

That wrapped of course, so remember it's one line.
