Out of pure curiosity:
Does anybody know why both i386 and x86_64 are installed by default?
On other x86_64 platforms I rather tend to cherrypick the i386
packages and install them on a case by case basis.

For me the only valid bonding modes to use are:
- active/backup
- 802.3ad

I have just found this post regarding the removal of .i?86 packages on a
x86_64 machine, http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2590. I assume that
these issues still exist for CentOS 5.3. Anyone have advice on how to
remove the duplicate packages safely?
Thanks,

I have some customer machines that have not been updated for some time,
and are still on CentOS 5.2. While reading the release notes for 5.4, I
have not yet seen anything that looks like it needs attention, but are
there any known issues or "gotchas" related to moving directly from 5.2
to 5.4?

Do you *need* to upgrade? If the machines are running anything
critical, I would be tempted to leave them with 5.2.

I have no idea why the packages are installed along with the x86_64 ones
however I add excludepkgs=*.i386 *.i686 to yum.conf and it cakes care of that.

I suppose I could, I recall the friendly name thing a while
ago, it seemed more complicated than using LVM
I understand how to remove them using ' yum remove \*.i?86 '. The
link below says that it breaks the installation of the x86_64 packages
by removing files which are shared between the architectures, i.e.
docs. How do you remove the .i?86 packages without effecting the
x86_64 packages?
