Thanks! When I tried to install it, rpm complained that there was no
such filename or directory, so I created /usr/share/createrepo and it
installed normally. When I did yum makecache yesterday, it ran
through a cycle of the install from sites information, then cycled
again through the list, then cycled again!... so I ctrl c'd. What was
going on? The first mirror was down and yum selected an alternate,
then the cycling began. Ric
