I recently tried a similar script to this, on a R4, But ened up with lots of botched pkg installed, gpg errors and cant find /somewhere/uprade_dir/foo/rpms/summin.rpm
Ended up having to reformat again and do it the old way again, Anyone got any thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Larry Smith Sent: 16 December 2002 15:17 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Monday 16 December 2002 08:35 am, Greg O'Lone wrote: > > This is the script we use.

Here is a "variation" on that script that will use a file you create with the packages in the order you want them installed - and does not remove the packages after install (so you can run from /home/packages and leave them there).
