Sam & JD,
I must apologize for asking this question to the wrong list. I knew the
Fedora version does this. What I'm actually looking for is that same
repo info for a RHEL5 system with some additional packages sourced from
RHN, EPEL, CentOS, RPMFusion, ElRepo, Adobe, and some other cats & dogs.
The RHEL5 version of yum simply tells me "installed".
