Download packages for a specific version and architecture

[kurtdriver]

Hi, I want to add a few packages to the Packages directory on an install DVD, but whereas my computers are 64 bits, I want the packages for 32bit and F14. yumdownloader just gets the ones for the computer I send them from. Is there a straightforward way of doing this? I've downloaded a couple from a mirror, but it would be nice to avoid rpm hell. Kurt
Edit: one option would to install F14 to a USB key and, booting from that run yumdownler to get the correct packages. Seems kind of extreme.

Here's a example that with get all the required deps as well.


yumdownloader --resolve --destdir=/home/leigh/compiz compiz.i686

Thank you Leigh, but how do I get the F14 packages? I go a couple from a F14 mirror, but yumdownloader doesn't go there.

yumdownloader --releasever=14 --resolve --destdir=/home/leigh/compiz compiz.i686

Thanks, I'm just now setting up a repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d for f14.
