Just trying to find out a few things ....

Hi everyone

Just a couple of quick questions if I may.


Can I ask what is meant by "flavours"?? I've come across it many times in the forums and I'm guessing that it is a variery of either Linux or UNIX (I know nil about either) which has developed but not really got a clue.

Secondly, does anyone know how to find out how long it takes to download a file off the internet? I tried to download one of the free Linux trials off one of the forums and I just can't stop everything and wait for it to finish when I don't know how long it will take. Is there a way?



My total knowledge of "programming" comes from Excel and Access so be gentle!


Many thanks in advance.

Terri

find-repos-of-install is a program which reports the Yum repository that a specified package was installed from. OPTIONS
--version Report program version and exit. -h, --help Display a help message, and then quit. --repoid=REPOID Specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled). --enablerepo=ENABLEREPOS In addition to the default set, query the given additional repository, even if it is disabled in YUM configuration. Can be used multiple times. --disablerepo=DISABLEREPOS Do not query the given repository, even if it is enabled in YUM configuration. Can be used multiple times. --repofrompath=REPOID,PATH/URL Specify a path or url to a repository (same path as in a baseurl) to add to the repositories for this query.

The repoid for the repository is specified by REPOID. -C, --cache Tells repoquery to run entirely from YUM cache - does not download any metadata or update the cache. Queries in this mode can fail or give partial/incorrect results if the cache isn't fully populated beforehand with eg "yum makecache". --tempcache Use a temp dir for storing/accessing yum-cache. --sync2yumdb Sync anything that is found to the yumdb, if available.
