I am referring to groups of packages as referenced in anaconda or system-config-packages. If you invoke system-config-pages and want to install the @ editors group , it asked you for the cd s , which I have no access to. The system is 400 miles away. I believe that to use rpm , I would need to know correctly the names of hundreds of rpm s , sounds extremely error prone , JYard UCLA -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Laszlo Beres Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 11:49 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: installing packages remotely without Yum On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 8:36 PM, Yard, John <jyard@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The installer did not install the package that included yum. > Red Hat tech support tells me it is not possible to > install the packages in a supported fashion. You surely misunderstood something. As soon as your system is registered to Red Hat Network, you can install packages using up2date command. There is no yum before RHEL 5, but up2date is absolutely supported and recommended way of installation/update. -- László Béres Unix system engineer http://www.google.com/profiles/beres.laszlo -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
