This question just came up on the Valhalla list this morning. I'll just paste in the same reply I gave there. I wrote a little tool for just this purpose. I find it handy, and it does save downloading rpms that I already have. [mfratoni@paradox devel]$ whichcd lynx elinks Searching for lynx... CD-3:lynx-2.8.4-18.i386.rpm SOURCE-CD-2:lynx-2.8.4-18.src.rpm Searching for elinks... CD-2:elinks-0.3.0-1.i386.rpm SOURCE-CD-1:elinks-0.3.0-1.src.rpm It's reasonably fast, too: time whichcd lynx elinks real 0m0.028s user 0m0.010s sys 0m0.020s It only works for 7.3 at the moment, but I am working on adding the other releases to it. (Actually, it works on any release, it just gives answers that apply to 7.3) ;) I made an rpm for it, if anyone wants to try it. http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rpms/whichcd-0.1-1.i386.rpm http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rpms/whichcd-0.1-1.src.rpm Hope you find it helpful. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.2 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjzi2mAACgkQn/07WoAb/Su9KACfWlWb+VEE2Wp41RkMz5SCthes TtEAn3QpKaX/AnozXkC5Ma3aPhrmy2Q9 =XRNd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
