Yum

[Cyber Source]

A neat little thing I like to do is this, "yum list > yumlist", That 
will create a file called yumlist in the directory that you ran the 
command in. I then use this file to search for packages available, very 
handy. For instance, say you wanted to install the app timidity, so you 
go "yum install timidity" right? Wrong, it's says no arguement match or 
something like that, so what gives? Ah, but a quick search in the 
yumlist file shows that the app is called timidity++ so then "yum 
install timidity++" works! The app still fires up with the command 
timidity. Little naming differences like that can have you pulling your 
hair out, this is a nice way around that.
