These days I also always use the epel repo for my SL servers, which is available as a yum install from SL5 series servers: # rpm -q yum-conf-epel yum-conf-epel-5-1.noarch For the SL4 ones, I just grab the epel RPM from fedora: # rpm -qf /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo epel-release-4-6 Maybe Connie or Troy could make a yum-conf-epel for SL4 servers?
