Dear All,

I noticed that the 3.0.3 release comes with a number of 32bit packages
a la Red Hat.

After having found out how to deal with them with RPM and YUM by appending
.arch to the package name on the command line (is this documented
anywhere? I learned about it in some mailing list only...), this is still
ugly but usable.

Is this the way forward now regarding 32bit compatibility?

Cheers,
        Stephan
