I'll post actual questions to the general list, but when I get answers I'll try to improve the documentation either directly or by posting on this list. yum search package_name --enablerepo=*\repo_name Thanks, I didn't know about the --enablerepo option to yum. -- Sean ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
