2/ I know "yum install package" but how can I know the binary eg: set up coming from what package name?

How about reading the manual page then? Kai already gave you the command so now you can go and read what that command does?

Very nice info

But I don't have this binary file "system-config-network" on the system, I only know this file name. the command which can't be applied

how can I know what the package name I install ?

yum install packagename

Thank you again

=============================== Perhaps this is what you're looking for:

# which system-config-network /usr/sbin/system-config-network # rpm -qf /usr/sbin/system-config-network system-config-network-tui-1.3.99.10-2.el5

Or as a one-liner: # rpm -qf $(which system-config-network)

Thank you

I believe your looking for 'yum provides system-config-network'.

Though none of my centos systems have access to working repositories so I can't test it, according to the man page it should work.

1) Please stop top posting on this list. Use bottom posting like this and per the group posting guidelines (see http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16 and please read all of the page).

2) If you're going to look for a package using only part of the package name, use yum list piped to a grep for the partial package name, or use yum search.

3) Since you already know the package name, use it for your yum provides command.

4) Please do some research on your problem before posting to this list. You have already been given step-by-step instructions on some really basic stuff that your could much more easily have found with google or man or the CentOS wiki. (IOW, RTFM, RTFW & STFW....)
