The recommended settings if you are running CentOS is: Priority=1 for [base], [updates], and [extras] ... and Priority=2 for [centosplus] In your case, it makes since (with a RHEL install) to not have centos [base] or [updates] in there at all (since you do not want to install centos packages on RHEL). If you want to use CentOS Extras then I would set the priorities as 2 for that. One thing to remember when using yum from RHEL is that RHN is accessed through a plugin ... so you will need to find a way to set priorities for that differently than CentOS does it. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
