You will get all updates if you do 4.4 [os] + 4.4 [updates] (that is the normal yum setup). However, if you are downloading the repos for offline updates, you would need both 4.4 [os] and 4.4 [updates] to be totally updated. You can use the 4.4 DVD to provide 4.4 [os] and then just download the 4.4 updates repo to run on top of that ... (see below) > > Like apt can, there is a way to have "yum cdrom" ???

So, you can upgrade to 4.4 [os] (and no updates after 4.4) by taking the DVD and installing it into your drive and using this command: yum --enablerepo=c4-media update (look at see if you have the file /etc/yum.repo.d/CentOS-Media.repo ... if not, manually install the centos-release file from the DVD, which is in /media/cdrom/CentOS/RPMS/ ... could also be /media/cdrecorder/CentOS/RPMS) This also assumed that automount of CD/DVDS is turned on ... if you have the file /etc/yum.repo.d/CentOS-Media.repo and it does not work, try the command: ls /media/cdrom or ls /media/cdrecorder If there are no files in either, try mounting the installed DVD with the command: mount /media/cdrom or mount /media/cdrecorder The run the yum command again. NOTE: this only upgrades you to the 4.4 release level ... downloading the /4/os/updates/$ARCH/ directory from a mirror is required to update past the initial 4.4 release. ($ARCH being your arch ... and you will need all directories under that (RPMS,repodata,headers) Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
