Re: Installing i386 packages via yum on a x86_64 F9 based system

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...

Maybe I have a (dirty) solution in mind: you can grab the firefox i386
RPM from a mirror, like
http://fedora.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/fedora/linux/updates/9/i386/firefox-3.0.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm
and then yum localinstall /path/to/firefox-3.0.1-1.fc9.i386, it will
try to resolve dependencies automatically.
I don't really know if it will work, but if you really, really want a
32-bit firefox maybe you can try and pray $DEITY that it work :P
