== Installing yum  ==


Command log / list of my successful yum installation on SecurePlatform.  It was truly an "rpm hell" experience to determine the required list of rpms and dependencies below.  But, that is why I was installing yum... so that I only have to wade through RPM hell one time.  If I ever do it again I can clean this command list up, change the order, and eliminate some of the errors.

installed this library, from a centos 3.8 installation (I think)

== configuring yum  ==

 
I don't have the specific details here.  You can we search how to setup yum to work with a particular repository. Here is a link to an old one that is still online...

== Installing software ==
Here is my living proof I made yum work on splat...

lets start that apache up shall we?

 [Expert@ckkpmgr]# '''/etc/init.d/httpd start'''

I can't believe it is running, let me check...
 
 [Expert@ckkpmgr]# '''netstat -anp | grep httpd'''

yep, it is really running

 [Expert@ckkpmgr]# cat index.html
