Perhaps a dumb question, but would I have to reboot first and boot the
previous kernel before deleting the newer i386 and installing the newer
i686 kernel?
Or can I (while running kernel 2.4.18-19.7.x)
rpm -e kernel-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386
rpm -i kernel-2.4.18-19.7.x.i686
(same for kernel-debug)?

Hmm I get dependency errors with this, isn't it possible to do a
--force? Install the i686 with --force over the current i386?
[root@localhost rpms]# rpm -Uvh --oldpackage glibc-2.2.5-34.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.2.5-34 is needed by glibc-2.2.5-34
glibc = 2.2.5-42 is needed by glibc-utils-2.2.5-42
glibc = 2.2.5-42 is needed by glibc-debug-static-2.2.5-42
glibc = 2.2.5-42 is needed by glibc-debug-2.2.5-42
TIA
