Hello.
I have installed CentOS 4 on a server in a hosting company and I realise that not all packages have been installed. I would like to install all packages exactly like it is when we click on 'install everything' from the CentOS 4 installation. Is there a way of doing so with 'yum install' something ? My goal is to have the exact replicate as the default CentOS 4 'install everything' option. I am in fear that there would be other packages installed than only the ones from the default CentOS install by typing 'yum install *' if this is possible.
Thanks, Daniel
Hi Daniel,
If the server has the DVD in the drive could you not simply do:-
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
from the RPMS directory on the DVD. Afterwards just run 'yum update' to apply in recent package updates.
Apologies if I'm not understanding your situation correctly.
