Tada.
Nothing. But since that did tell me what to google for, I found the yum 
list. Inserted x86_64-redhat-linux.

But that's only half my Xmas wish. Now it's showing ONLY x86_64.  From the 
yum list messages I take it this is a function of exactarch and 
transaction_color ( which I didn't see in macros ).

Thanks

umm, the i386 ones that are available should be listed.

it's not an either-or sort of thing.

the question you should ask is why didn't you get an /etc/rpm/platform
file?

-sv
