Yum really only is practical to use if your system is RPM bootstrapped. Anyway - bootstrapping a LFS/CLFS system is a rather daunting task, especially if you care about doing things correctly. What is it you wish to use yum for on your LFS? > > Greg > _______________________________________________ > Yum mailing list > Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum > _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
