Cobbler on RHEL 5.5 32 bit

[Qcheck]

Hello, I am trying to install cobbler, but can't as the yum install says, cobbler not available. I did install before on 5.4 on 64 bit, but why can't RHEL says cobbler not available? WHen I called support they said, we need satellite channel access. Do I need really or is this only for 32bit 5.5? Please let me know asap.....

Thank you so much in much advance!

Hi Qcheck,

baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/testing/5/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

yum search cobbler

Change x86_64 for i386 for 32-bit

Can I istall x86_64 for 32-bot on a laptop? That is a dell laptop...that is the reason, I downloaded and installed 5.5-i386 for 32-bit.

If so, how can I change the i386 install image to x86_64 for 32-bit?

FLQ, thank you for the response. However, when I try to install cobbler, it has so many dependencies.....

Hi Qcheck,

I know...pain in the...

but, you'll have a nice setup to install your machines.

Once configured, it's real easy to use and makes installing OSes a breeze.

Shalom,

On a 32 bit OS install, no 64 bit rpm's can be installed.

Conversely if you used a 64 bit OS install, you could install both 64 bit and 32 bit rpms.

I did manually downloaded and installed and it worked.
