Here is a link for the rh73 rum package and a note that appeared on the k12 list about setup. I'm still looking for the apt-get package. ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/yum/ <quote k12 list> >there is no such file or directory.

You can get yum from here: ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/yum/yum-1.0-1_73.noarch.rpm The default configuration of that package does not include the K12LTSP packages. You can add those by appending this to /etc/yum.conf: [k12ltsp] name=K12LTSP baseurl=ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/apt/7.3/ -Eric </quote k12 list> > > Both the yum and apt-get packages should be available on any of the K12 > mirrors AFAIK.
