But you're implying that it's wrong to ask the question on a list where 
I could possibly get a direct answer? With regard to configuring a local 
repo, it's going to cost me a lot of money to download the full CentOS 5 
repo. I know the DVD is 3GB, which will cost me a fortune, since I pay 
per MB. Anyway, I'm not going to bother with it. OpenSuse 10.3 has a x64 
rpm already so I'm going to use that instead. Thank you for your help
