I already supported most of this with the previous version. Use a query like: http://www.owlriver.com/support/yum/yumconf.php?ver=8.0 But the thought is taken for the deed. It now supports arch, and departmental grouped files in the presently available variant. http://www.owlriver.com/support/yum/yumconf.php?ver=8.0&; group=hephysics&arch=sparc [you know the drill on long URL's -- web page also updated at: http://www.owlriver.com/support/yum/ ] RFE again: Could I please have an 'arch' and RH version as environmental variables for yum, and I'll deliver a more general solution in very short order. The reason for my prior RFE asking the Client system, rather than the client system's administrator to determine this, is that it permits the admin more options to do hands off, lights out management, with kickstart installs, WOL, and so forth. -- Russ Herrold
