Okay, I cleaned out all the entries from the /etc/yum.repos.d and 
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources. Also did an:

rpm -e firmware-addon-dell-2.0.11-1.el4 dell-hw-indep-repository-1-15 
dell-hw-specific-repository-1-13.el4

Now I am going to try and do a wget -q -O - 
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/bootstrap.cgi | bash again:

[root ~]# wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/bootstrap.cgi 
| bash

Okay so now am rpm -qa | grep -i dell shows:

[root ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i dell

dell-hw-indep-repository-1-15
dell-hw-specific-repository-1-13.el4

As you can see nothing is installed ! Am I missing something here ? I am 
looking to install things such as:

This is from another machine that has this done at kickstart with the 
files here locally, I would much rather have this done off the dell site 
via kickstart.

Cheers,

ASD.
