dStruct  - Command consolidation   |2010-01-02 04:54:29 Love the tutorial, very informative. I'm not sure if you mean to intentionally list each step 1 by 1 or not, but you can consolidate most of those steps down into much more simple commands. For example.. rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag .txt rpm -Uhv http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-re lease-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm And when you set the yum priorities you should also remove any Enabled = 0 entries and set a low priority so they're always enabled but used after the base/updates/addons stuff.
