Good Evening, Jeff -
Yes, it did answer my question absolutely.
I am guessing that others are probably wishing this functionality did
exist. So with that being said, what can I do to create a yumgroups.xml
that can be used by the FL project? I would imagine that there is a
specific format for such a file, so do you know where I might be able to
get more information on this?
Thanks a lot
