Red Hat

They didn't give me a certain answer. I've reviewed the standard installation document and found no restriction on yum. It does mention yum-updatesd as a running service. I've also found yum is there on some systems. So it could be a installation mistake that yum is missing on many systems here.

What are the YUM version(s) for RHEL 4? I am going to manually load yum to these RHEL 4 systems. Thanks!!

This should work. RPM install for yum:

Do you mean Yum 2.4.3 is the right/good version for RHEL 4.7 and 4.8?

Thank you!

This is the most update one in tar format.

Code:

But before i'd do this personally I would contact Red Hat support and have them send me the file. Or if you have access to the image you can load it on the system and you should be able to find the rpm file. I don't support RHEL in my workplace anymore so I can't poke around and find where it should be for you. but even when you install the tar file or rpm you will still need to set your repo's (I maybe wrong about this It's been a while since i had to manually install yum).

I just did a google search and found this link maybe helpful to you as well:

Probably version 2.2.2, but still searching. I've found it in this good site:

RPM Search

Thanks everyone who replied!
