Though it seems to use yum too, versions differ and thus you can not simply take an add-on which would match for a specific Fedora release and use it with RHEL/clone. > Rahul Dear Timothy, hope you don't mind that I reply to your message this way, reacting both on Rahul's comment and your previous one. Maybe you have legitimate rights to call my reply to Benjamin pedantic - but I think I have good reasons to distinguish between RHEL or rebuild system and Fedora. Besides the technical questions / differences I think each distribution should support their own users. I wouldn't have said much if I hadn't the serious impression his questions were most if not all so far regarding his RHEL clone system. If you review hist postings you will find several indications (i.e. when posting the output showing rpm package names). So far my justification.
