Thanks for your help. The name in brackets is indeed used to identify the repository by yum wherever it needs to identify an individual repo. For example, to perform an action on only the base repo you can say 'yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base ...' Another example, locally cached files for each repo are kept in /var/cache/yum/$repo David -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
