If you can execute a bash script as part of the RPM install process, you can have your own YUM repository to /etc/yum/conf by just appending a few lines of text to it See here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel5-fedora-core-add-new-yum-repository.html Of course you first need to be running your own yum repository, hosting the files. "Hosting a yum repository allows you to easily distribute and automatically update your own packages. The recipe below describes how to configure a yum repository for Fedora Core 5. The first three sections explain how to create a proper directory structure on your web server, sign your RPMs, and move them to the appropriate locations. The final section explains how to create a RPM which users can download and install to begin using your repository with yum. *The steps in this tutorial may be easily modified to work with other distributions*." http://mindtrove.info/articles/hosting-a-yum-repository/ Hope this helps, FC > > _______________________________________________ > vbox-users mailing list > vbox-users@virtualbox.org > http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users > > -- Dream of the Daily Mail It is the Holy Grail And then the BBC Your life would be complete -Manic Street Preachers, "Royal Correspondent"
