Howdy...

Trying to set up a set of machines using the RPMs.  I've a couple of 
questions.

1.  Is there a kernel for CentOS with the Web100 patches already done 
and in RPM form?
2.  I tried to download and yum-install the packages (for some reason I 
couldn't make yum get 'em dynamically).  There are a few dependencies 
I've run across:
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Log::Dispatch::Syslog) is needed by 
package oppd
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Log::Dispatch) is needed by package oppd
Error: Missing Dependency: maven2 is needed by package geant2-java-rrd-ma
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(XML::LibXML) >= 1.61 is needed by 
package perl-NMWG
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Log::Dispatch::Screen) is needed by 
package oppd

Error: Missing Dependency: perl(IPC::Shareable) is needed by package oppd
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(IO::Tty) >= 1.02 is needed by package

java-1.6.0-sun-compat
Error: Missing Dependency: libpcap.so.0.9 is needed by package softflowd
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Log::Dispatch::File) is needed by 
package oppd

3.  The version of yum included in this bundle is pretty old.  Current 
version in CentOS 5.2 is yum-3.2.8.

Any help'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Gerry
