[wellylug] dreadhat mon.

[Jamie Baddeley]

Well, I'm on a RHAS3 (or possibly es3) box apparently, and there's no
yum here man.

In fact, being a debian man, this whole yum thing is leaving a bad taste
in my mouth :-)

I'm beginning to think that I need to start smacking the guy who
installed the box...

personally I'd be happier if he just put all the rpms in a directory
somewhere.
