The problem already starts with anaconda installing all sorts of 32bit 
packages in addition to the 64 bit ones.

If you are certain that you want no 32bit packages at all, you can

# yum remove *.i386
# yum remove *.i686

Once you have done that you can configure yum to ignore all .i386 and 
.i686 packages - BUT: as soon as you install a 32bit package, and you 
still tell yum to ignore 32bit packages, you can be sure that it won't 
take long until your yum updates fail. Just been there, and was really 
confused why it failed ;)
