Greetings, I am currently trying to install RedHat9 for use on some vintage 486 machines, in order to speedup a little bit the installation process I ran the install process on a faster machine with an Athlon processor, apply the updates and then move the hard drive to the final machine (486). In the past (RedHat-7.3), this procedure works well, the Anaconda installer initially choose the i686 packages for things like kernel, glibc etc. and after that, we applied the updates replacing the i686 versions with the i386 versions of each package, before moving to the 486 box. Now, in RedHat9, the glibc update doesn't install this way and breaks the installation. My question is, how can i tell "anaconda" to use a specific architecture for the installation process ? In this case, I want to install the i386 packages from the begining.
