>While browsing the repository, there doesn't seem to be a dir for anything after 9.0. RH ES doesn't have publicly available repositories. As a commercial product, one of the things you're paying for when you *buy* RH ES is the binary packaging of (what is otherwise mostly) open source code. You *can* download the SRPMS and compile them by hand, but... YUM won't do that for you. There are alternatives aswell - there's someone on this group who does pretty much what's outlined above and sells the service for like.. 5 bucks a month or similar. I forget what it's called though.. Short answer is 'there are no respositories. Long answer is : You *CAN* make your own repository if you have enough machines to patch to make it worthwhile, or you have machines that can't talk to the internet. You'll need to download all the available errata using a machine that *can* get to RHN, stick 'em in a web-served directory, and yum-arch over it. (Or create-repo if you've mashed your RPM/Python libs to work with the latest YUM.) >Would it be advisable to create a config file specifying the 9.0 dir?

It does not appear that there's a header file for this distro, though Yum does look for one.
