Hi all I am first time Yum user. I have an unupdated RedHat 9 installation on which I have put up a Yum Repository of updates to RH9 only. My questions are: 1. Do I need to copy the RH9 distro from the CDs to the base section of the repository, in order to update the machine. You see yum-arch -d {dir} is reporting failed dedpendencies though they are installed on the machine. 2. Can I update the same server on which the yum repository is setup or do I need to create a second repository to update this machine? 3. Can I use the FTP protocol instead of HTTP in Yum.conf i.e. can yum fetch via ftp instead of HTTP. With best regards. Sanjay.
