i've downloaded yum, perused the docs... and i'm trying to install/update an rpm... the rpm is a beta for mysql. i have the rpm/package on my box. i do an yum install MySQL-Max-4.1.3-0.i386 and yum states that it can't find the package. is there some way to force yum to see the rpm/package in a given dir?? i would imagine that there should be a way to solve this, and that i'm just missing something... thanks, -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Sean O'Connell [mailto:oconnell@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2004 4:17 PM To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; Yellowdog Updater, Modified Subject: Re: [Yum] installing yum... Bruce- If you are using RHL 8.0 -- which is no longer being actively supported by Redhat, I would highly recommend that you go to www.fedoralegacy.org. The fedoralegacy site has a yum rpm for RHL 8.0 (as it is one of the supported update mechanisms) and should have some documentation to help with the dependency issues.
