I just assumed that yum did look there first (I don't think yum goes to the remote repository if the RPM is already in the local directory?), and I was suggesting that a second option should be added. > The only thing that should be there are things already > installed.

I install frequently, but remove rarely. >> I've looked at a couple of the sites mentioned in this thread, and I >> am afraid the instructions are simply too complicated to follow. >> (The document you mention seems to have over 100 pages, which to me >> is information over-kill.) > > I'm sorry that the information isn't presented in small enough bites > for your taste.

I don't think I really want to create a private mirror, which sounds rather complicated. The default of running "yum update" on my small menagerie is quite acceptable; any alternative would have to be almost as simple. As to supplying information in small bites, that is indeed probably what I want. A document that contains the answer to every question in the universe is only slightly more useful than a document that contains nothing. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
