install these rpms individually by executing "yum install" 300-400 times. Also the fact they have different names I can't use globbing (wild cards). Is there a shortcut way through which I can install the rpms using by executing the yum command just once for e.g. making the yum read the rpms to be installed from a file or by some other method?
Try cat rpm.lst | yum -y install
or yum -y install `cat rpm.lst` or even cat rpm.lst | xargs yum -y install (which will deal with the potentially really long line) A little thought could also cut the list down, since there is a subset of your list that is dependencies of others on the list. or create a wrapper rpm that is nothing but a bunch of Requires: lines, and install it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim Wildman, CISSP, RHCE jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.rossberry.com "Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."
