Thanks, Mike. I do not want to know which was the mirror, but only the name of the repository, i.e., livna, base, etc. If the package is not installed and if it exists in some repository, yum list name_of_the_package says in which repository the package is. However, if the package is already installed, no information about the name of the repository is given. Paul
