Yes - if everything worked perfect - we wouldn't need yum either. One download would be it. But back to the real world. My question still stands: Why not use wget for download. Parameters could be set in the yum.conf file. And then you wouldn't have to maintain that piece. It is quite annoying that to do a 20 file update it takes more than 3 hours and 15 restarts. And I am still not done. I am just running through what I propose exposing our customers to. Since I have local mirrors, then I can just reset to those, but the guy in South Africa??? I would strongly suggest interfacing with wget Regards, Dr. Karsten Jeppesen VP of Technology Total Impact 1221 Avenida Acaso, Suite K Camarillo, CA, 93012, USA Tel: 805.987.8704 Fax: 805.484.9469 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
