Hi List, I am relatively new to yum. Just recently found it and i think its quite useful to me. I am creating a new repository with redhat packages and updates freshrpms etc. Initial setup was ok with both apt and yum. I have some problems though with yum. When i run it for the first time it takes a long time. When i am using hard links for the packages (because i need to sync the updates), its giving "ignoring dupe pkg" error. And also how do i compress the headers (-z does not compress it) I am using yum 1.98 (downloaded from ayo.freshrpms.net) and Red Hat Linux 8.0 Thanks for ur help Murali Potla
