You guys have been so helpful, here is another yummy question. :-)

I am running CentOS 4 64 bit, but sometimes i need to install 32 bit
binaries.
For example firefox, so that plugins work.

Sometimes when I append ".386" in my yum install commands it works and finds
the 32 bit version.
However, often it does not. For example:
   yum install  mplayerplug-in.i386
replies
   No Match for argument: mplayerplug-in.i386
However we all know that mplayerplug-in.i386 does exist, but only in 32 bit
repositories. Yum replaces $arch with x86_64 even when I explicitly ask for
i386.

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

Thanks,
