Any way I can get the "full" output from say a yum list avaialble? Normally, when you get to a rediculously long package name, you get this: video4linux-kmdl-2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp.i68 1:20050113_172233-54.1 at-stable video4linux-kmdl-2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp.i58 1:20050113_172233-54.1 at-stable For those in a lame-*ss yahoo limited size window, the package name gets chopped at colunm 40 (I believe). Not a biggy most times but I want to do some "foo" with the output and need the full package name. Any ideas? Looked for the python code that handles this part of the output but didnt have any luck... Earl __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.
