I'm looking to do something similar. I have a random bunch of amd64 and x86 machines I'm taking care of. I would be nice to not download all the RPM's several times. cd /var/cache mv yum yum-dist ln -s /common/yum yum Note, its isn't quite the directory structure you wanted, but should be good enough. Assuming you have /common NFS mounted on all machines, you will have the the machines share both the yum RPM's and headers. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S. Rupprecht http://www.wsrcc.com/wolfgang/
