So, I have Fedora 11 running in a VirtualBox VM. I had it setup earlier, but somehow screwed it up and decided to just wipe it and start over (its only a VM anyway). Before I did, I created a list of installed RPMs (after installing many from regular repos and RPMFusion), so I wouldn't have to go through manually and reinstall them.
So I have a file generated by $ rpm -qa > rpmlist.txt So far I can't seem to find a way to have yum fetch and install the RPMs listed in a text file. My google fu so far hasn't come up with anything, but perhaps there is some better way of wording it... hopefully someone else has run into something like this. Funny how I haven't yet, though I have used Fedora since FC1, and RedHat 5-9 before that (as in the old RedHat Linux, not RHEL) In a nutshell I want to do something like this: $ sudo yum install < rpmlist.txt But that doesn't work, since yum isn't setup to directly take pipes or redirects from command line. Also note the package list has full RPM names, including version, so the list may need to be trimmed or something to just the package names only. (Ex... foo-bar-1.2.3-fc11.i586.rpm, and yum probably wants just foo-bar only) Any help, hints, nudges where to look, etc... Thanks! ---------- Matt M.
