Sorry, it looks like Yahoo mail wants to put all responses on top. I never really thought that was a problem until I tried to read a post that was all over the place. :^)
I think I'll have to do a combination of yum search, yum list, and possibly rpmfind.net to get the packages I need. I just wish it were easier to use yum to find what I want without having to do so much!
Thanx for the response...

Re: Installing i386 packages via yum on a x86_64 F9 based system
by Ubence Quevedo
Thank you for the response.
I'm not looking to install the 32-Bit Firefox via yum, because I've already downloaded it from the mozilla website. I'm trying to run the 32-Bit Firefox and it is complaining about missing libraries. I fixed this before by getting the i386 version of the libraries via yum, but I can't remember how I got the relevant gtk related i386 libraries I needed. For example, bugbuddy is one of the dependencies I need, but when I did: yum list *bug*buddy*i386, I didn't get any results back. So, that is why I thought I needed to get the i386 repo information.
And I'm running the 32-Bit version of Firefox because there is no 64-Bit version of Flash, and I don't feel like running some type of compatibility mode to get it to work.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
Thanx!

There are plenty of i386 packages in the Fedora repos, but firefox isn't
there, or at least I didn't find it (I use Konqueror anyway :P).
If you're searching 32-bit Firefox for the plugins (i.e. the Flash
plugin) you can always use one of the free plugins avilable (Gnash or
swfdec) or the proprietary plugin via nspluginwrapper (you can follow
the guide here: http://fedora64.org/solved/browser-solutions/flash ).
If you have other uses for 32-bit Firefox, well, then I don know :P

Will this occur automatically during a system upgrade or do I need to
take explicit action to get KDE upgraded to 4.1?

Installing i386 packages via yum on a x86_64 F9 based system
by Ubence Quevedo
Hi Everyone,
I recently reformatted my x86_64 F9 based system, and somehow before the format I was able to install i386 packages via yum [I forgot exactly how I did this]. Now after the reformat, when I try to specify i386 packages to install [yum list *.i386], I get no results returned. Is there a specific repo I need to enable to access the i386 packages? The reason for this question is because I manually installed the x86 version of Firefox, and the required libraries and files to run i386 Firefox aren't installed as part of the x86_64 install.
Can someone please advise on how I can install i386 packages via yum on a x86_64 based system?
Thanx!

Trouble running fedora 9 in xen under debian etch
by Christoph Höger
Hi,
I am havin severe trouble with running fedora 9 as a XEN Guest: I cannot
get a new kernel to work (is that even possible - host is running
debians 2.6.18.6-xen-amd64 kernel?).
So I took the debian kernel and initrd from the host and (oh wonder)
they worked like a charme with my fedora install.
Now I see something that must be a kernel bug, its also mentioned in
bugzilla (just search for sec=null):
When I try to mount a (working) nfs-share from the client he mounts it
with sec=null instead of sec=sys shich basically squashs all users to
anon users.
Mounting from the host does work like a charme.
I assume the debian people do use a special patched mount to hack around
the kernel bug, but what can I do?
1. Run a newer kernel as guest (as I stated I do not know how - or even
if- that works)
2. Run a newer Host/Guest Kernel combination (my admin will really _not_
like that idea)
3. ??? <- insert own ideas here
Has anyone successfully done such a thing and can tell me how?
ps: I should have mentioned that I am trying to integrate libvirt into a
cluster system and want to demonstrate the ability to run
not-that-stable oses as vm-guests, thats why I choose fedora as guest.

I am having a bear of a time downloading the rpm:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2008-July/msg03696.html
The checksum alone won't help you, but learning how to use "rsync"
to complete damaged/partial downloads would be my recommendation.
There are several rsync Fedora mirrors world-wide.
Run "rpm -Kv glibc-common-2.8-8.i386.rpm" on the downloaded
file to verify it.
Also, try "wget -c" if you can't find a suitable rsync mirror.
poc
The link in my post lists the various downloading
mechanisms I tried which included: yum, wget, commandline
ftp, firefox ftp, firefox http, curl and rsync.
I also tried many mirrors.
The link on that page shows that someone else had this
exact same problem a couple of years ago but the
resolution to their problem was not posted.
Thanks.
When I run rpm -Kv on the file that I manged to download
once (using curl against multiple mirrors - could not
reproduce the download) yielded:
rpm -Kv glibc-common-2.8-8.i386.rpm
glibc-common-2.8-8.i386.rpm:
Header V3 DSA signature: OK, key ID 4f2a6fd2
Header SHA1 digest: OK (9e29c13963aa5e4df698bd92a8ebceb3e19f4176)
MD5 digest: OK (903ce7d3e1c7e99cf1533eebc22f44b5)
V3 DSA signature: OK, key ID 4f2a6fd2
So, it appears to be OK, but it still does not explain why
I can not download the glibc-common-2.8-8.i386.rpm
when I can download everything else.
