As I understand it, that would double the length of the list, right? Interpret the following as brainstorming only: You could also put a "key" on the line, and then print the mapping at the end. You could either do keys like A, B, C... or use the section name from yum.conf. So, it would look something like this: Name Arch Version Repo -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canna-devel i386 3.6-12 duke ElectricFence i386 2.2.2-15 freshrpms duke = Linux@DUKE 9 - i386 freshrpms = freshrpms.net - RHL 9 - i386 I don't have a good feel for how tight on space the list is horizontally, and that will certainly play in. -Michael -- Michael Stenner Office Phone: 919-660-2513 Duke University, Dept. of Physics mstenner@xxxxxxxxxxxx Box 90305, Durham N.C. 27708-0305
