I understand how to remove them using ' yum remove \*.i?86 '. The
link below says that it breaks the installation of the x86_64 packages
by removing files which are shared between the architectures, i.e.
docs. How do you remove the .i?86 packages without effecting the
x86_64 packages?

packages
Out of pure curiosity:
Does anybody know why both i386 and x86_64 are installed by default?
On other x86_64 platforms I rather tend to cherrypick the
Frank Cox posted above this line,
' yum remove \*.i?86 '
What I do is put the package name and then the platform. E.g php-cli.x86_64

I have just found this post regarding the removal of .i?86 packages on a
x86_64 machine, http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2590. I assume that
these issues still exist for CentOS 5.3. Anyone have advice on how to
remove the duplicate packages safely?
Thanks,
Patrick

On other x86_64 platforms I rather tend to cherrypick the i386
packages and install them on a case by case basis.

Hi
I don't think this is a good idea. If we are talking about a workstation
for a user, better keep, but if you talking about a server, maybe.
Most probably you will have to install

It depends on what you're doing. If you really need some package which does
not exist in x86_64 version, use i386. If all you need exists in x86_64, there
is no need to us
Hello,
Is it advisable to clean up the system by deleting the i386 rpms? If so
how do you know which ones to remove and which ones CentOS or RHEL
require to be installed? You can use “yum list installed \*.i386″ to
list all of the i386 rpms installed on your x86_64 system and I assume
