Yes! This is the obvious (to me) solution for accessing packages via
the
network is yum ... why reinvent things when you have a good capability.
Now, the rest of the story ... handing installation of individual new packages
as well as removal of individual installed packages (including removing
selected installed kernels).
There needs to be some work done on the lists of packages displayed in
s-c-p - then that can be handled. The new yum-HEAD work is intending to
make specific package selection more possible.
