<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Thanks to all folks who have responded to my request! I have following question to clarify myself. I usually run 'rpm -qi pkgname' and it gives details regarding the package installed. I was wondering if there was way to tell by looking at the output of the command (rpm -qi) if its 32 or 64bit RPM package instead of using querytype option to find about it. Sorry If my question sounds incorrect.

In the kickstart configuration I am specifying initial name of the RPM and apparently see that only one RPM package gets installed (not sure if its 32 or 64 bit). So basically I wanted to know, > > 1. What entries are needed in kickstart config file in order to install both 32 and 64 bit RPMs. I don't know the proper format by heart, but there is a way to specify the architechture. Something like pkgname.i386 pkgname.x86_64 Don't know, however whether the same work for package groups. if you want to install packages of a certain architecture by hand or in the %post section, you'd use: rpm -i --arch=i386 pkgname rpm -i --arch=x86_64 pkgname yum install pkganem.i386 yum install pkgname.x8664 > 2. When I run 'rpm -qi' for a RPM package name how can I tell which one is the information for 32 or 64 bit. You might want to try the following: rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" To get a list of all the tags available use rpm --querytags Cheers, Kurt </pre> <hr />Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
