Re: [hobbit] Best installation process on Fedora 12

[Asif Iqbal <vadud3 (at) gmail.com>]

Buchan Mine,

Thanks a lot for the rpm and the repo. It worked perfect on my virtual
centos release 5.5

I am wondering if you have a mirror repo as well, just in case.

Also is this still the best way to add the repo and install xymon ?

 # wget http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/Xymon.repo -O
/etc/yum.repos.d/Xymon.repo
 # yum install xymon devmon

Thanks again for sharing the rpms
