Hello, I was testing a fresh RH 7.2 install from cdrom and wanted to automate the yum update process to get to a fully updated server. Using the website documentation I had many dependency issues that are not addressed there. This script takes care of the dependency problems that are not yet addressed in the website documentation for 7.2 after a fresh install. After running the script it is recommended that you edit yum.conf to allow kernel* updates and then run 'yum update' again and install the latest secure kernel. You can run 'yum clean' to free up some disk space. Mine is not a 'full' install. My test drive is only 2gig but includes most of the common install items, about 1gig including X, Gnome, Devel games and http, sendmail and bind servers. I would expect the script to work on a full installation. Please test, advise and have fun. Kevin PS thanks for the updates. #!/bin/sh ### 6-16-2004 kevin1a at varlog dot net ### This was created to automatically update a fresh RH 7.2 install ### to the latest updated version. ### uninstall the deps problems.
