This is probably a stupid question. I have a file (foo) containing names of packages, one per line. I want to use yum to install these packages. I tried "xargs foo | yum install" but that does not work since yum wants to read from stdin. I do not want to use "assume yes". I ended up editing the file to make it a shell script (by replacing newlines with spaces and putting "yum install" in the front). Surely there must be a better way...
