FWIW, yum knows about packages: $ yum info "*smp*" The "*"s tell yum to print everything with "smp" in the package name. If that doesn't work (for something else, it works for "smp"): $ yum search smp will look for any package with "smp" in the package description and several other places. Sometimes the apropos command is useful, but not this time. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
