Look for a "headers" directory containing a bunch of .hdr files. The headers directory could live almost anywhere above the rpms themselves. If it's not set up as a yum repo, you can always ask the admins to make it so. It's just a matter of running 'yum-arch'. Very very easy. BTW, the baseurl in yum.conf is just the url of the directory that CONTAINS the headers directory. -Michael -- Michael D.
