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.

[oneiros@sincity ~]$ yum search bug-buddy
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, merge-conf, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* livna: mirror.atrpms.net
* fedora: ftp.crihan.fr
* updates: alviss.et.tudelft.nl
============================================================ Matched:
bug-buddy =============================================================
bug-buddy.i386 : A bug reporting utility for GNOME
bug-buddy.x86_64 : A bug reporting utility for GNOME
gnome-python2-bugbuddy.x86_64 : Python bindings for interacting with
bug-buddy

Try to use yum search instead of yum list

BTW, please don't top post.

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...
