Also another thing I noticed was that in my masters file:

.begin distribution
  .name Red Hat 6.2
  .fullname Official Red Hat Linux 6.2
  .version 6.2
  .level stable
  .arch SRPMS i386

  .begin mirror
    .name Red Hat Official Site
    .addr http://localhost/updates
    .country USA
  .end
.end

.begintext motd

----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
.endtext

if I only place i386 for .arch, then when I do yup config dist, the option
for dist is screwed up, like this:

dhcp-10-2-3-131:/home/httpd/html# yup config dist
Retrieving http://localhost/master.txt

WARNING: No compatible distributions were found

Enter the number of your selection:

and I can't do the selection. I must include SRPMS in there. Is this
normal?

Thanks
