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.

Hi Lee. Thanks for the advice. No, you have well understood my problem. I will have a look if it's possible for them to put the DVD into the server. It is already one solution. I was interested by a 'yum' solution, but that one is already a start.
Thank you. Kind regards, Daniel
