Hi

Basically, I have a text file with a short list of packages (rpms) that I want to install via 'yum', with each package-name separated by a newline:

package1
package2
package3
package4


I want to execute something like:

yum install `command X textfile`

where command is sed and/or grep, and X are the options required to replace each carriage return for a space, so that it effectively results in:

yum install package1 package2 package3 package4

Could somebody please reply with the correct command(s) to achieve the above.

Thanking you in advance.

Kind regards,

Jules

something like
should do the trick ....
W/o sed or grep, though; hope that's not THAT important
to you? :}



Cheers,
Tink
