Hi I am trying to use yum to install to a file system without having yum install all the repo and cache data on the destination filesystem. The installroot directive appeared to be what I was after, but all fails, and the following is what I get, [root@cherafir ~]# yum -c /root/yumstuff/yum.conf install yum Yum Version: 2.2.1 COMMAND: yum -c /root/yumstuff/yum.conf install yum Installroot: /root/mnt Ext Commands: yum Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos No Repositories Available to Set Up My yum.conf looks like this, and I have placed a known working set of repo's in the yumstuff directory [main] cachedir=/root/yumstuff debuglevel=10 logfile=/root/yumstuff/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 installroot=/root/mnt reposdir=/root/yumstuff cachedir=/root/yumstuff -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
