A
problem with that *may* be if the list was very long.
how about piping it to xargs ?
something like,
<the query> | xargs yum -y install
I think <the query> has to be replaced by something like
<cat query list>. I'll give it a try. In this case I had
to edit the list as I was changing architecture from i386 to
x86_64 (can someone please come up with an acronym easier to
type than x86_64?) i64? a64? 8664? x64? w64? 8byte? 8b? b8?
ib8? 0x4? I'm open to suggestion. Of all of the above I
like ib8 best, intel byte 8 architecture (native pointer
size or word size). Let the ia64 stay the same.
Thank you for a worthwhile suggestion. I seem to end up
doing this every 6 months, so I want to come up with an easy
method. Preupgrade is an option if there isn't an
architecture change.
