I usually just cat the file on the yum command line. Even a few thousand packages can be specified this way. Something like: yum install -y `cat file_with_package_list` You'll still need to do some checking after getting most upgraded, to handle stuff that was dropped or obsoleted and make sure you got everything you want. -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
