Yum is good, so is apt. I still have a problem with yum wanting to

stop that yet (probably simple too).
It is:
yum install gsl.x86_64
I meant automatically picking up updates, or on new installations. I thought
I saw something about arch-only settings.
You can also specify architecture of specific packages in the kickstart
file. However, yes, it's pretty impossible to kickstart a system without
getting some 32bit packages. What I do here is just put a
"yum -y remove \*.i[36]86 in the %post section of the kickstart. Voila
-- no more 32bit packages. And if there are no 32bit packages installed,
it "shouldn't" pull any in at update time.
There may well be a yum plugin floating about to enforce this more
strictly, but I haven't looked, to be honest...
