Hello, little tricky question : i have a file of packages for removal , which looks like that : atk libart_lgpl libXfixes audiofile libXcursor libxslt alsa-lib esound how to , provide that file to yum, using pipe, or redirect does not work cat result | yum remove ..

Try the xargs command:

cat result | xargs yum remove

You could probably also do something like:

# for line in `cat packages.txt`; do echo remove $line >> yumshell.txt; done # echo run >> yumshell.txt # yum shell yumshell.txt

That might be a bit faster as it'll only do the dep-solving one time.
