First I used version 1.0, and when this failed, 1.0.1. It checks and potentially installs/updates a great many packages. The last attempted install of v 1.0 gave: [root@rntlinux1 VDC-1.0.RedHat.9]# sh ./installVDC.sh Checking for yum installation...done Downloading RPM headers (please be patient)...done Removing old cache directory...done Installing a local yum channel for this VDC release...done Running yum for package installation...

Package ant-optional-full needs ant =3D 0:1.5.4-2jpp, this is not available. I tried installing ant manually, with no effect. With VDC 1.0.1 I get the same error message as with 'yum update' then a huge number of messages about being unable to download packages, and then missing dependencies as the procedure tries to install the VDC software.
