  I have an x86_64 bit F13 installed. Now I need to add 32 bit libraries
to be able to run some 32 bit executables ...

  I have been trying to do this 1 library at a time and it is tedious
and hard to know if I am getting the right pieces. Run an app - watch
errors - find 64bit version - do yum provides on expected path to 32 bit
version - yum install .. repeat over and over ..

  Is there a way to do something like:

    yum groupinstall '@ Gnome Desktop Environment'.i686

 i.e. How do i do a groupinstall but request the i686 arch ?

  I found no option to set the base arch ?

  I thought of making a separate yum repo config and replace all the
arch variable tags with i686 but I was not convinced this was good idea ...

  thanks.
