Hi, Sorry, but I'm totally new at yum, I've just discovered it this morning and downloaded the necessary file. First I want to say is that it works perfectly fine, out of the box. Great job. Now, these are the questions : sorry, but I'm a totally newbie, but I've read the archives of the mailing list first (but not all messages ;-) ) - I don't run a server, and my connection to the internet is using a simple modem (33600 ;-( ), but I would like to be able to tell "yum" to look somewhere on my hard drives for new packages. I use to download and install from time to time new packages, and to build packages of my own. So would it be possible to add to yum.conf something like : [local_files] name=Misc File locally available on my system baseurl=/usr/local/misc/update/addons/ - Is there a graphical user interface. I saw messages about that last month. - is there a parameter to tell yum not to keep downloaded files from a specific location ? If the answer is yes, to my first question (a support for a kind of local repository), I would not like to have the same files in my local directories, and in the /var/cache/yum directory. Just the ones downloaded from the internet are interested to me to keep. thanks a lot, and sorry for my english but that's not my native language.
