Hi,
thanks for the answer.

you to the FC1 preview tree. Once you install that, you can point
yum to
the development repositories and it should do the right thing (update the
proper packages both 32bit and 64bit).

This method is not recommended as most packages are actually conflicting.
libs are meant to be installed biarch and libtool handles things to make
sure the right bin gets the right libs.
I see.

By dual boot, I was referring to a full installation of both the 32bit FC
OS and the 64bit FC OS. They can share /home and data filesystems, but
they definately need seperate /boot, /usr, and preferably /etc and /var.
This is only really of use if you need to run 32bit games (64bit DRI cannot
run 32bit with hardware acceleration), or perhaps for running things like
VMWare or other 32bit apps which include kernel modules.
Yes, I already guessed that I will need separate / (containing /etc ...),
/usr, /var for a dual boot. What I wanted to achieve is to have a single
boot menu. As the current situation stands, I will need two /boot
and manually set up an entry in the default one -it would be the
32 bit Fedora- so it boots another grub (that boots the 64 bit Fedora).
An entry similar to one that boots into a Win* should do, at least I hope.
Hope this helps,
Justin M. Forbes
Thanks.
