Yes. "yum deplist vlc" shows you all dependencies. Do some grep/awk magic to write the package names which you find in the "Provider:" lines into a file. echo vlc >> file. Then do a "yum install --downloadonly $(cat file)" Maybe you should clean up the deplist a tad, as it contains packages you probably already have installed (like zlib or glibc). > I'm not concerned about updates to this package. If that vlc ever plays streams from the internet, I would be concerned. Ralph -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
