I hae found no way to do it. First of you would have to install the 32 
bit version. That is the easy part. But then it does conflict with the 
64bit evolution packages. The dependencies for these do not specify the 
architecture, so for yum, rpm etc the 64 bit versions that are already 
installed appear to be fine. But the 32 bit firefox does not work with 
them. Ok, I thought, remove the 64 bit evolution stuff and install the 
32 bit versions. That can be done, but it does not work. Some methods 
are not found. I had also tried to install the 64bit and the 32bit 
evolution stuff in parallel. That needs some rpm options to achieve 
that, but also that does not help. So I gave up on this...
