:-)

some more sample

# yum install somba postfox closedvpn cvsversion unzop GCC binuseless
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

I'm expecting a error telling me package don't exist like in centos4 :

# yum install somba postfox closedvpn cvsversion unzop GCC binuseless
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
update                    100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00

addons                    100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00
extras                    100% |=========================| 1.1 kB    00:00

ops I forgot to mention foobar, but you can try at home this out of danger.
