Appears there is local repo web server, I was able to browse rpms via lynx using baseurl below.

Thanks, I did some homework. -- >From /etc/yum.repos.d/localrepo.repo, I browsed the 'baseurl': http://172.16.22.8/yum/updatevm and found comps.xml. It contains the group definitions I need: Development Tools Development Libraries To confirm this, see this wget and grep: /tmp jdoe $ wget http://172.16.22.8/yum/updatevm/comps.xml -O - 2>/dev/null |egrep -n 'Development (Tools|Lib)' 2251: <name>Development Libraries</name> 2268: <name xml:lang='en_GB'>Development Libraries</name> 2477: <name>Development Tools</name> 2494: <name xml:lang='en_GB'>Development Tools</name> ### Unfortunately 'yum grouplist' still fails; apparently looks for comps.xml in a different location: ~ root # yum --enablerepo=updates-local grouplist Loaded plugins: security Setting up Group Process http://172.16.22.8/yum/updatevm/repodata/comps.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror.

How might I configure or invoke 'yum groupinstall ..' to look for http://172.16.22.8/yum/updatevm/comps.xml ? -- I would like to avoid: using wget w/recursion to copy the entire repo to a local dir, and then moving comps.xml (can such an approach work?). -- thanks/regards, Tom _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
