To
solve the problem of dependency resolution and package location, volunteer
programmers at Duke University developed Yellow
dog Update, Modified or short for YUM.
The system is based on
repositories that hold RPMs and
repodata file list. Yum server is
the centralized server through which you can install all servers’ package. The
data of Yum server is stored in /var/ftp/pub
to install Yum server you should have minimum 7 GB in /Var partition. If you don’t have var
partition then you should create a new partition and mount with /var by using vi /etc/fstab.
