Re: yum update / install from file

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows whether its possible to update yum from

a file containing a list of packages (one per line).

I have tried:

yum -y install < file-name

Better: yum -y install $(cat filename)

makes from the lines of filename the options list (package list) for yum.

but that didn't work.

I also had a look through the `man yum' manual and there doesn't seem to
be any direct flag available for yum to take its input from a file
rather than the terminal itself.

I was wondering if anyone else might be able to offer any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

All the best.

Cheers, Tony Crouch
