Hi this is technically a RHEL4 question but i hope it can be answered here... Does RHEL4 do yum OK ? I kix a lot of boxes and it would be great to run the update after the build automajically rather than running through the up2date registration and using that method. I would also rather not pay lots for satellite server. If i setup my own RHEL repo can i use yum against this? Or any other thoughts/options ? thanks

I'm not sure how you can setup your 'own RHEL repo' as the RHN ones are secure. You can install Yum on RHEL, and point it at a Yum CentOS repository, you'll effectively convert it to CentOS in the process.
