[PlanetCCRMA] question for yum experts...

[Matt Marian]

Hi Fernando

shame about apt ( I think it is much faster than yum , but I will roll 
with the flow)

I know you can do a  "yum list available" 
but that lists everything available from the repository(ies)
wait ....
yum list available | grep "kernel"
also    yum list available | grep "kernel" >  kernel.txt      or the like
 
yielded the following.... 

[root@aphrodite ~]# yum list available | grep "kernel"
