I have a CentOS vm that I'm currently working on. I tried to update yum and it broke, so I removed it. So I need to re-install it on my vm, can anybody tell me how to install yum on CentOS5?

Just make sure your centos version match up

  • Just give the full list of packages in one rpm command, or it might well choke on missing dependencies. Or just whip out yur installation/rescue disk, and install yum using that (look up exact details, memory is rather fuzzy as it's been a long time since I had such an "accident"). Good luck!
