for example, i want to install "kprof". i know an rpm is available at kprof.sourceforge.net, but i'd like to just "yum install" it. however, it's not available at any of my currently-enabled repos. is there some kind of "meta yum" feature that would search a larger set of repos for me? perhaps a set of "fedora-endorsed" repos? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
