Hi; Does yum have a 'file' switch or option like most other programs dealing with several pieces of data? eg. rsync --files-from /where/ever. I just re-installed Fedora 9 and I probably will be installing F10 in a couple of months. I keep a list of 15 -20 packages that I regularly have to re-install right after the Fedora core installation. It would be nice and easy to just 'yum install --from-file ~/billspackagelist' or after a disaster 'yum install --from-file /backup/billspackagelist' Maybe there is a way to do it without copying and pasting a long string of package names and having to check for proper name separation etc. at the end of 'yum install ...', but I didn't see it. -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.3 Evo.2.22.3.1, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
