My guess one would not be able to use yum without root permissions. To my belief yum needs permissions to update the repo data, hence it might fail. which means we might need yum itself in a different location which will not depend on files which are on /etc, /var, etc. > You might want to talk to your office sys admin instead. Yep it is going to be a waste of space !!. +1 on the above. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
