"-off" at the end marks disabled repos. Those are all local repos and I have URI's. But I am still modifying and selecting repositories and packages. That is why I would like to use .repo files from /etc/yum/repos.d/. So I do not have to worry if there were changes. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
