Hello Everyone, When I attempt to do this: yum install AdobeReader_enu.i486
this is the result: package nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.4-19.fc13.x86_64 (which is newer than nss- softokn-freebl-3.12.4-17.fc13.i686) is already installed
Does anyone know why the x86_64 & i686 versions of nss-softokn-freebl are ever so slightly different?
With all this in mind, how does a guy go about installing AdobeReader_enu.i486 on a 64bit install of Fedora 13?

Well, I came up with a temporary solution. I downgraded nss-softokn-freebl.
It's kind of interesting the downgrading nss-softokn-freebl only affected one package, but "yum remove nss-softokn-freebl" would remove 2041 packages...
Anyway, I have a temporary workaround.

Well don't do what I did !
I did a rpm -e --nodeps nss-softokn-freebl and I was going to reinstall , BUT!! now I can't do a SU to reinstall no matter which way I go, I tryed to restart and go in as SINGLE user to reinstall, that didn't work, now I can't get back into my Desktop. I tryed the Fedora System Rescue disk and I still can't get back into SU. I guess I will have to do a Clean Install.

You can boot a rescue image and use that to reinstall nss-softokn-freebl and/or do other related cleanup. I usually do a series of mounts and chroot before running yum, but using the --installroot is possibly a better way to do this.
