Installing 32 bit firefox on x86-64
 
A very popular question these days given that Macromedia, Java etc. decide for their consumers that we don't need 64-bit versions of there famous plugins. The obvious solution for me was to install 32 bit firefox, but I am having a lot of trouble. The main procedure I have been following is here :

When I get to the point of installing firefox.i386 using yum, I get this wonderful message of error dependencies using yum:


Code:

Then I thought I could just remove esound with yum, little did I know that would involve taking out the major packages for KDE, a 136 of them to be exact, so I said no to that.
Can somebody help me figure out what is going on with esound.x86_64 and alsa?

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
