Hi Michael Thanks for the quick answer. I then learned something about patch'ing and the usage of rpm. There where only 4 packages in i686(Kernel x 2, glibc, openssl).

It does. rpm --query --all --qf "%{name}-%{version} is %{arch}\n" Of course, you can also query files and individual packages. > Can i mix it, or does it have to be straight. You can mix it, but in most cases there is no noticable performance gain in replacing the default packages with i686 versions. Important system packages like the C library are available as optimized versions anyway, and the other packages are i386 compatible but optimized for i686. > I found something in the archives, where there was problems with replacing a i686 rpm with a i386.
