It's intentional that the s390x os clearly 64bit pure and clean version with only glibc and glibc-devel from s390 (needed for build). It's not even trying to mimic the mixed mode version from upstream source provider, so if you need to get mixed mode installation, you need to fetch the needed parts from s390 version of CentOS-4 manually (or what ever way one seems to be suitable). It's possible to make s390 repos available for yum simply by editing right paths in /etc/yum.repos.d/ files, but one should be extra carefull with full s390 repo available to s390x installation. Sometimes yum just 'gets greedy' and fetches unneeded packages in. That is not so problematic, when 'the overriding arch' is the host main arch (s390x overrides s390). -- Pasi Pirhonen - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://pasi.pirhonen.eu/ Top-postings silently ignored ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
