The purpose of this note is to let everybody know that the unofficial(*)
Dell yum repository at http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/ is now

any difficulties with the repository via this mailing list. 

Anybody who has installed previous versions using this repository should

Briefly, to use the repository to install OMSA, you need only run these

installation issue. Openipmi will be re-installed)
	2) wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/yum/software/bootstrap.sh
| bash
	3) up2date -i srvadmin-all
	4) (optional) up2date -i srvadmin-racX    (where X is the type
of RAC you have installed)
