32bit firefox on x86_64 3 years 43 weeks ago

I have been having trouble with firefox3.5 on my x86_64 FC11 install for a month now...firefox freezes my pc. So I used yum to remove firefox. Now I'm wondering if I could just use another rpm for firefox...could I use the 32 bit version safely? I found the rpm and started doing a local install with yum but it wants these dependencies:

Numeric prefix in yum.log 3 years 43 weeks ago

I noticed some packages are prefixed by a number in /var/log/yum.log:

I've followed the GeForce4 and below section of the F11 Nvidia driver HowTo guide.

Okay this is the weirdest thing. It was cleared up by a reboot, but I'm hoping someone can shed some light on what happened. This morning both yum and rpm commands were failing with the /var/log/messages:

kernel: rpm[19621]: segfault at 1a ip 49a21a17 sp bf99ba40 error 4 in libdb-4.7.so[49949000+16b000]

I am trying to install some drivers from Digium for a piece of hardware that I have. When I try to install I am getting:

Sometimes when I'm using Audacity and I perform an action (it can be pretty much anything, like deleting, zooming in, etc.), Gnome immediately crashes and restarts, returning me to the login screen.

I tried installing Audacity from the PPA, but the problem persists. Sometimes I use JACK and sometimes I don't, and the crashes occur either way. Gnome never crashes on this computer otherwise.

How do I go about removing the old f11 rpm stuff after an upgrade? I have several packages from fc11 that are newer than what is on the fc12 (probably because of updates), so several things still show up as fc11. Why isn't the fc12 updated at least to the newest or newer stuff in fc11?

Last night I was updating my system and I ran into some dependency errors. It seems like gecko-libs is having problems. here are my yum update results.
