How do you install your systems?
How do you make system changes?
How do you do any changes?
This is what I don't understand at all.
This has nothing to do with YUM.

But what do you do for system installation/customization?
Do you use a Kickstart disk?
Or do you manually install the system and manually configure?
How do you make other changes to a system?
Again, this is what I don't understand at all.
And it has nothing to do with YUM.

Why not just do it when you install the system?
I mean, I assume you're doing it then, correct?
Or do your computers read your brain when you install?

My point was you where clearly making an _inapplicable_
argument just because it fits.
There are countless configuration details that you do -- even
if just once (like adding a proxy line to yum.conf). What
makes this so different from any other install-time
configuration detail?

Then why couldn't you put in the proxy line instead?
You only have to to do it once.

I'm still failing the point here. Transparent proxies do not
work for a lot of things.

And that's great. But even then, you'd have to change the
repository configuration. So what's the issue?
