Depends. The ideal "yum" way would be to put all the packages into a group (for example development-tools) and then do a yum groupinstall development-tools If you don't have control of the repo, that's not practical. If the repo is self-sufficient, then yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=extras install \* will do it. But that won't install dependencies from Core or elsewhere. (If it's not obvious, replace "extras" with the name of your repository throughout this e-mail). You could use yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=extras list available | grep extras | cut -d\ -f1 to list all packages in the repository, and feed that to xargs yum install. (Note: that's "cut -d\ -f1": cut using whitespace as the delimiter, first field). But you'll have a problem if you have any really long package names, as yum list truncates the output. yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=extras list available | grep extras | cut -d\ -f1 | xargs yum install Ultimately, you could do yum clean headers yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=extras list available cd /var/cache/yum/extras/headers/ ls | sed "s/.hdr//" | xargs yum install Unless the repo is *really* large, that should work. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | Let He who Taketh the Plunge @westexe.demon.co.uk | Remember to Return it by Tuesday.
