Hi,

4. I have enabled the dries, kbsingh, and rpmforge, repositories for few packages (acroread, pine,...). However, I didn't keep track which packages come from those repos so I can't apply the 'includepkgs' instruction on them. What's the easiest way to recover that information? (Default 'yum list installed' doesn't provide the repository.)

I /var/log/rpmpkgs is a (weeklyupdated?) list of file names. Some have ".rf" in them, other "plus" etc. This should tell you for most packages from where they came.

I would then read up on some of the yum stuff (plugins) and use a combination of "includepkgs=", "exclude=" and "protect=" to get you going. Set this stuff up before you do any other changes.

Thanks in advance, Itay
