How to set up for usage with yum (minimum required version: yum 2.4.x): RHEL5, CentOS, Scientific Linux, RHEL4+yum, SLES+yum

1. Set up this repository:

   wget -q -O - bootstrap.cgi | bash
   

2. Optional Install OpenManage Server Administrator:

   NOTE: OMSA will not install on unsupported systems. If you receive a message at install that the system is not supported, it is likely that your system is not supported, and the install will fail. This is most common on SC-class systems, as OMSA is completely unsupported on these systems.

Follow these instructions for use with up2date:

1. Set up this repository:

   wget -q -O - bootstrap.cgi | bash

   NOTE 2: If you want to install srvadmin-all, you have to have 'setserial' installed. I dont have the details on this, but it doesnt appear that setserial is installed by default.
