Ok, I'm probably using yum for something it wasn't intended for. Having said that, I'm building a directory, installing yum into a directory before doing a chroot into that directory and installing the rest of the system. Here's the problem I'm seeing: + yum -y -c /root/livecd/master/etc/yum.conf -d1 --installroot=/root/livecd/master install yum /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73854: line 1: /dev/null: No such file or directory /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.29072: line 11: /dev/null: No such file or directory /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.29072: line 12: /dev/null: No such file or directory warning: user rpm does not exist - using root warning: group rpm does not exist - using root [last 2 lines repeated many times] I can grep rpm from /etc/passwd, group, shadow & gshadow to create the files in the new directory, but I was wondering if there is a cleaner way.
