Assuredly not. Yum package list updates alone are painful; the overhead of invoking yum is kind of a bore, imhe. Not sure what the op's package list looked like, but I do recall yum requiring a hard first arg for local packages. If you want to drag the package from the repo, sed out the arch/version/.rpm stuff and get the raw package name. xarg those to a space separated list for yum in bash. Or just sudo yum install apt (*debian fanboi flames*) _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
