[Yum] install related question(s)

Thank you, I will look at cobbler, as well as centos website
tomorrow.

Let me get back to the beginning of this particular thread.
I mentioned:

Is this a different problem from not having repositories set up
properly?  Would this problem go away if I am to use rpm?  Assuming
that rpm gets executed successfully, would I still have the problem
of not having properly set up repository?

No trivial reference material but you might take a look at cobbler:
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ - it might be able to make this
process simpler for you.
