Re: [webmin-l] Software Packages Module

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi James,
Is it possible to have YUM look in all the configured repositories
for a specified package? It would seem to me that this would be better
than needing to tell it which one to look in ... unless the same package
exists on more than one repository?

As you can see, I am not really much of a YUM expert :)
