You could save the results of the "ls" in a text file like rpms/rh9disk[123].txt. After that, a search would consist of a grep into rpms/*, which would also tell you what CD it's on. For nontrivial packages, I find the apt and freshrpms.net combination rather convenient. It handles the dependencies and gets the latest errata versions of the packages, if any. Chris
