Hi Oded, I can manually add another repo, but then how can I easily manage my searches? if I currently have several repos I will have to add a 2nd i386 repo for each one. In most cases I will want only the 64 bit versions, but sometimes the 32 bit versions. Is there then a simply way in Yum to manage this on the command line? Thanks, -tom
