Probably what I'm trying to do ... bring a system up from nothing primarily using yum. As I've just tested today, yum can install the base group from comps.xml, once you have your system up to the point it can actually run it. (which means installing a bunch of rpms before you call yum). Thats the hardpart - bootstrapping rpm and yum from scratch. Aaron > > how do you mean install a system fresh w/yum? > > -sv
