Which preview are you using? The preview release I posted Dec 1, and test1
include all of the basic 32bit stuff.  Mozilla and Open Office are actually
installed 32bit by default.  If it is the devel tree, it is not a biarch
tree yet.  You might grep the test1 tree for i?86, everything installed
there is known to be safe.
