RHEL does not use yum, perhaps you thinking of Fedora Core or CentOS or one of the other clones??? You can of course install it and use it to install third party packages like those from Dag Wieers site or ATrpms. If this is what you want yum for then visit and download/install yum. -- "A personal computer is called a personal computer because it's yours, Anything that runs on that computer, you should have control over."

If this is what > you want yum for then visit and download/install yum. You can get yum from the DAG repository, at http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/. It's extremely useful for pointing to a base installation of RHEL and, if you can arrange it, setting up a repository of the updated packages, and to DAG itself for tools that are not part of the basic build, such as yum itself. RedHat doesn't publish the RHEL binaries publicly: you do need a license to grab the full set, not because most of it isn't open source, but because there are some trademarked and copyrighted tools in there that are not open source. But if push comes to shove, you can grab the almost-byte-for-byte identical versions of the same packages from your local CentOS repository. |
