Re: Yumdownloader and downloading a fully specified rpm package

Thanks!

It was my bad.

 yumdownloader kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.el5 works, and also
yumdownloader kernel-devel-`uname -r` works.


But,
yumdownloader kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.x86_64
does not work; it gives:
No Match for argument kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.x86_64.rpm

Regards,
Ian.
