Re: [Planetlab-users] Problem installing packages

[Neil S. <ns...@cs...>]

Aninda,

Use Aaron K's script:

/bin/bash

or mine (unofficial, but includes scriptroute client software):
curl -O http://www.scriptroute.org/planetlab/planetlab-install && sh =20
./planetlab-install

both will install yum and setup your yum.conf to use =20
boot.planet-lab.org for packages.  that your error messages include =20
mirror.dulug.duke.edu suggests to me that you've installed yum in some =20=

other way that does not configure yum.conf.
