    I haven't worked with 64-bit versions myself, but my understand is that yes, Fedora Core and yum will handle parallel installations.

    I checked www.fedorafaq.org and found a link to the following (slightly out-of-date) FAQ for
    Fedora Core on AMD64: http://www.linuxtx.org/amd64faq.html

    Does the AMD64 Fedora handle 32-bit and 64-bit libraries in parallel?

    Fedora Core 3 x86_64 seems to, sort of.

    My FC3 x86_64 system has both

    /usr/lib
    /usr/lib64
    and other lib64 directories hanging around.

    I can't say that I fully comprehend how all this works with ld.so, LD_LIBRARY_PATH,. etc.

    That is, I'm occassionally beset with complaints from the loader that look like 32 64 bad interaction (eg, some Python stuff).

    No, I downloaded kernel 2.6.10 from AtRPMS and it installed fine. BTW I got my apt from the DagApt repo, which might be a different version to the Fedora Legacy project.
