Up2date is fully yum capable, so there is no need to install the yum client on RHEL. Simply add your yum repository to the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file.

Put them anywhere you'd like to share them from. For RHEL, consider making a yum repository and sharing it with a web server. The RHEL clones and Fedora use yum, and yum can easily be had for RHEL - simply pinch it from one of the clones. Yum does not conflict with up2date or RHEN. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ do not reply off-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
