How to configure the CentOS YUM update source for Redhat Linux RHEL5, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and solution in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and easy way.

YUM is a tool for Redhat Linux to install updates and software online, but this is a charging function of RHEL5. If you cannot use RHEL5's update source without purchasing Redhat's service, you will be prompted to register.

Because CentOS is a free Linux version that evolved from Redhat, you can take advantage of CentOS's yum update source to implement RHEL5's YUM functionality. The configuration method is as follows:

Check whether yum is installed, it is installed by default, a total of 4 packages.

[root@linux-a ~] # rpm-qa | grep yum

Yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.fc6

Yum-3.0.1-5.el5

Yum-rhn-plugin-0.4.3-1.el5

Yum-updatesd-3.0.1-5.el5

Configure yum update source

Create / etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file to define the yum update source, which is the CentOS update source of Shanghai Jiaotong University.

[root@linux-a ~] # vi / etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
