I've not used CentOS, so i'm sure what you say is correct for that distro. In RHEL, however, it doesn't seem to be accurate: # yum repolist all Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security repo id repo name status rhel-debuginfo Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5Server - i386 - Debu disabled rhel-i386-server-5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 for 32-bit x86) enabled: 6,138 repolist: 6,138 In case the word wrapping messes things up, that shows 2 repositories: rhel-debuginfo (disabled) and rhel-i386-server-5 (enabled). However, only one of them has a .repo file: # ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ rhel-debuginfo.repo The main Red Hat repository (rhel-i386-server-5) is not listed in a .repo file. On RHEL, yum seems to be configured to somehow magically know about the main Red Hat repository without it being in the config files. So that's what i mean by repositories that aren't listed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rpmforge.net/mailman/listinfo/users
