Probably chroot, yum --installroot and rpm --root --initidb are the search keywords for you. I think this is what you need to do. [1] 1. chroot <some local path> 2. install yum in the local path (using src installation) 3. build rpm db for the new chroot using rpm --root <some local path> --initidb 4. install the base packages yum –installroot=<some local path> -y groupinstall base 5. install any package using yum install --installroot=<some local path> <package name> you can try google about the above steps. Below are few links which came quite close. http://www.crc.id.au/xen-performance-guide/ http://serverfault.com/questions/146483/yum-install-in-chroot-directory http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=385 [1] Disclaimer: I have not tested the steps myself _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
