You know what an SRPM is? You don't need to have the binary RPM installed to be able to "install" any SRPM. I put install in quotes here, because "installing" an SRPM mean to deflate it into the rpm-build directories (SPEC and SOURCES) to be able to rpmbuild the binary packages. > I know I should probably just stop being lazy and just download the ISO > files and just mount them and install that way, I was just wondering if > there was a way to let yum download the updated versions and install > them to the system right directly.
