Or any idea how to install packages with dependencies in > non standard path ? inside the installroot you don't have a package providing redhat-release - which is what yum uses to fill out the $releasever variable. (centos-release and fedora-release provide that, too) depending on the yum version you're using you might be able to do: yum --releasever=5 for example. But if you're not using a newer yum than what's in el5 you can't. So, in that case you'll want to edit the addons repo file and change the $releasever to be whatever number works for the distro you're trying to install. -sv _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
