CentOS更新源文件下载地址: http://download.csdn.net/detail/aa1049372051/8498531

YUM是Redhat Linux在线安装更新及软件的工具，但是这是RHEL5的收费功能，如果没有购买Redhat的服务时不能使用RHEL5的更新源的，会提示注册。

由于CentOS是从Redhat演化而来的免费Linux版本，因此可以利用CentOS的yum更新源来实现RHEL5的YUM功能。配置方法如下：

检查yum是否安装，默认情况下都是安装好的，总共4各包。

[root@linux-a ~]# rpm -qa |grep yum
    yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.fc6
    yum-3.0.1-5.el5
    yum-rhn-plugin-0.4.3-1.el5
    yum-updatesd-3.0.1-5.el5

配置yum更新源

创建/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo文件，定义yum更新源，这里使用的是上海交大的CentOS更新源

    [root@linux-a ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
