In the man page for yum, yum-0.9.4-1_8x
I find:
-y Assume yes; assume that the answer to answer to any question
which would be asked is yes. Configuration Item: assume-yes
Is this actually:
assume=yes
( "=" not "-" ) ?
I ask because I tried using it:
[root@ftp root]# yum install php-mysql
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 24, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "yummain.py", line 104, in main

raise e
ConfigParser.ParsingError: File contains parsing errors:
/etc/yum.conf
[line 7]: 'assume-yes\n'
[root@ftp root]#
But when I make that change and try an unattended install ...
[root@ftp root]# cat /etc/yum.conf | grep assum
assume=yes
[root@ftp root]# yum install php-mysql

I will do the following:
[install: php-mysql.i386]
Is this ok [y/N]: y

so that alternative version of the option seems not to work
