Thanks.
The thing about yum is that it gets updates automatically.
That is the behaviour I want to get, but only for 3 of the available 32 bit RPMs. Just using rpm and wget doesn't really help much.

Perhaps I should have explained this better?
I have 64 bit Fedora Core 5 running on my AMD 64.
In order for the realplayer and flash plugin in firefox
to work, i have to use the 32 bit versions, i.e. the i386 or
i686 ones.
Yum, of course, tries to update my system with the x86_64 RPMs.
I can stop it doing this by putting an 'exclude' line in
/etc/yum.conf.
The question is how to get yum to update the 32 bit binaries
of firefox, libgnome etc?

firefox
libgnome
libgnomeui
I know how to exclude them in yum.conf, but
not how to do the converse.
Just download the three files to a common location all by themselves and as
root from the console or xterm session;
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
It is a good idea to remove the 64-bit version of firefox before installing
the 32-bit version.
Try downloading by typing something like;
wget
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/firefox-1.5.0-9.i386.rpm
Put a space after wget and before the rest
