I understand now.

Does this make sense? How should I define my repo file? If I do this: I think you'd need to have two repos, like: [repo1] name=my repo list1 baseurl=http://whatever/dir1 [repo2] name=my repo list2 baseurl=http://whatever/dir2 ...and if you need to have it on the FS in that way I think you need to use: --baseurl http://whatever/main_dir -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
