Sorry Paul!

I meant the files createrepo /var/www/html/yum/base created. From the
repo.htm this is what I assumed was the purpose of copying the files
from the CD/DVD. Hence, have I missed something? While Red Hat 6.2 was
supported, I just ftp'd the updates into a directory "updates".
Incidentally, I have two boxes, one an Intel and the other an Alpha.
