Are all of the packages you install part of the main distribution? If so, you could not even bother with yum and just use kickstart. <http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/KickStart-HOWTO.html> Even if you do need packages from other sources, kickstart is a good place to start. Then, in the postinstall script section of the kickstart file, run yum with a list of all the packages you want to add. (The new yum scripting stuff could help with this.) -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> Current office temperature: 79 degrees Fahrenheit.
