Yes Alain is absolutely right about ROCKS.

@Alain: Thanks for the information. We'll check what we have in stand alone CentOS.BTW what do you have in yum.conf file?

Regards
Hersh

Rocks 5.4 is not a recompile of CentOS 5, it uses CentOS as its base 
distribution, and add configuration, database, tools, MPI, batch job 
scheduler etc..., for HPC calculation.

As a yum update may break the configuration, /etc/yum.repos.d/ is empty 
by default.

I use myself Rocks, an I populate /etc/yum/repos.d/ by copying what I 
have on other CentOS workstations, but avoid to do any update.

With Rocks, you do update by upgrading to the newest version (which 
would be Rocks 5.5, based on CentOS 5.6...).
