I had the same problem earlier this week, a clean install on an x86-64,
after first boot "yum update" and it didn't work because there were
conflicts with frysk. I did: "rpm -e --allmatches frysk ; yum install
frysk ; yum update ; " and that worked.
I really don't know why there are two versions even of "normal" user
applications, I would understand that some libs are needed both 32/64
bit version but application?
