It would be of great help if you could tell me what should be done to get yum installed.The following is the message:- There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named yum Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.2.2 (#1, Feb 24 2003, 19:13:11) [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-4)] Thanks, Padma -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
