Hi All, I think that with the introduction of the group(list|install|update) commands, yum really entered a new level of usefulness for the advanced user - more than just using the redhat defaults, but being able to create different groups of packages for different machines, and with thus deserves a section of documentation... (And with that I'm saying to myself "Well, get on it!") And will make an attempt, but am seriously time-availability and time-management impaired! Just a thought, Erik. -- e r i k w i l l i a m s o n erik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx system admin . department of computer science . university of calgary
