Software Update / YUM question
Posted: 2007/05/05 18:25:40
Hi,
I am test running Scientific Linux 5.0 -RC2. I am not very comfortable with this yum thing -
I used the up2date/ RH notification that sat on the panel to update the softwares on SL4.4
( read CentOS 4.4 - or are there any major differences?).
Is there something equivalent for CentOS which does this 'automatically' ? I tried yumex but it was
not as smooth/easy as using up2date.
In case you don't have alternatives - a link to a complete idiot's guide to yum would suffice.
Thanks,
A.
