SOME rpm options are supported, but may have different names. For example, there is an --installroot=/your/path/here/ option. However, yum will likely never support --force or --nodeps, as they defeat the purpose of a good package management system. The --nodeps option for a program that relies on tracking dependencies to function properly just seems silly. --On Wednesday, February 23, 2005 11:59 PM +0800 Steven Shiau <steven@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > I need to install kernel in different root directory so that it can be > shared with some other diskles clients. > > Is that possible to run > yum install > with some RPM options ? like "--root /tftpboot/node_root/ --force > --nodeps --noscripts" > > Thanks. > > PS. in apt, I did that like this: > apt-get -y --reinstall -o RPM::RootDir="/tftpboot/node_root/" -o \ > RPM::Install-Options::="--force" -o RPM::Install-Options::="--nodeps" -o \ > RPM::Install-Options::="--noscripts" install kernel-2.x > > -- > Steven Shiau > > _______________________________________________ > Yum mailing list > Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
