Sorry for posting in Fedora as I found here got more reader. Actually I am using RHEL. I found there is no yum in my RHEL. What -bash: yum: command not found
And when I type up2date -i yum, I could not find the package on the net. How to install yum? May I know whether yum is only for Fedora? What is the different between yum and up2date?
anyway,
if you have up2date, you don't need yum ... up2date is for installing/updating packages on RHEL, typing 'up2date' without any arguements/options gives you usage list, so to install 'up2date -i program'
i believe the '-u' switch will upgrade, it also has such switches as "--upgrade-to-release=<release-version>"
Using up2date to isntall yum, is like driving to the garage in your car to buy your first car :)
