Hello yum team, I tried yum and it works great. Thanks for the good idea and the good implementation. I have two little suggestions. One. Since the HOWTO is still in draft, AT LEAST make the man pages accessible from the web site. I told my Linux friends about yum, one was interested, and this person had some specific questions that the man page answers. In addition to answering his questions, I had to find the man page files on my PC and send them to my friend via e-mail. (I also told my friend that installing and trying yum is so easy, he might as well give it a go and answer his own questions. Sorry for having lazy friends.) It would not hurt to have the current man pages available on the yum site permanently. Two. Put comments in the yum.conf file that ships with the yum rpm that can be uncommented to direct the installer's PC to second tier (mirror) repository servers. I would hazard to guess that yum will become more popular over time. Your default yum.conf file generously directs the PC to the Duke U repository server. If the load on your servers becomes too much, you will have to redirect random users (like me) to second tier repositories anyway. So the yum.conf file could ONLY list second tier repositories, and the setup instructions could say go in and uncomment one server. That would make it easy for guys like me to access a mirror repository. Thanks again, great work! Rick Graves Hong Kong gravesricharde@xxxxxxxxx
