Yes. I understood correctly.

You you are right.
But I think I hace succeeded (but perhaps not very elegantly).
I created a file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo with this content
http://gatopelao.org/downloads/CentOS-Base.repo

I also edited /etc/yum.conf (although I don't know if it's necessary)
----------------------
[base]
name=Centos 4.5 - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.5/os/i386/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4.5

#released updates
[update]
name=CentOS-4.5 - Updates
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.5/updates/i386/
----------------------

then did
# yum update
# yum grouplist

then
yum --installroot=/mnt -y groupinstall Base

I haven't touched redhat since redhat7.3 and am quite lost. But it is
installing into /mnt at the moment. :)

If I understand right, your example suggests that I shouldn't need to
touch /etc/yum*

Chris.
