Did I miss something along the way of running rawhide that it seems that for example firefox.i386 and helixplayer aren't able to install?

That was closed, but I don't seem to be able to yum install firefox.i386
I do remember being able to installed i386 packages while using FC4 Test releases. I noticed it wasn't the same in FC4. I ended up doing the same thing I did with FC3. Setting up duplicate repository files in /etc/yum.repos.d. I change the $basearch references to i386 and rename the file from fedora.repo to fedora-i386.repo. Then you have to use yum install package.x86_64 instead of yum install package. Otherwise you will get the i386 and x86_64 versions.

Thank you, didn't think of that :D
