一、 yum的一点小用法；
1、查询软件包；
面对成千上万的软件，我们可能无从下手，有时也不知道它的文件名；这时就要用到查询；我们可以用 yum list 来列出yum升级源上的包有文件；然后我们再来查看 info有以下几个组合可以用；比如；
[root@localhost]# yum list |more
在显示的软件列表中，会有软件名称、版本、是否安装等；仔细的看一下吧。熟悉了就好了。也没有什么难的。
[root@localhost]# yum list |more
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Installed Packages
4Suite.i386 1.0-8.b1 installed
Canna.i386 3.7p3-13 installed
Canna-devel.i386 3.7p3-13 installed
如果想知道软件的详细信息，可能得用上info参数了。比如：
用法：
[root@localhost]# yum info 软件名
比如：
[root@localhost]# yum info bmp-mp3

Installed Packages

Summary: MP3 playback plugin for the Beep Media Player
Description:
This package contains an MP3 playback plugin for BMP (Beep Media Player),
a media player that uses a skinned user interface based on Winamp 2.x skins,
and is based on ("forked off") XMMS.
在上面的例子中，如果Repo : freshrpms是这样的，表示您的系统没有安装这个软件，如果显示的是：Repo : installed，表示已经安装了。
查询软件包，也可以再加参数 grep ，比如我们想查询升级源上是否有内核的新版本，则我们可以用下面的命令查询；当然您也可以用 [root@localhost]# yum search kernel |more ，也就是yum --help提供的参数，也是一样的；
[root@localhost]# yum list |grep kernel
我们看一下机器工作的结果，如下：
[root@localhost]# yum list |grep kernel

比如我们用的机器是单处理器的X86机，想看一下是否有新内核可用。所以咱们试一下下面的这个。看是否已经有了新内核可以升级的；
[root@localhost]# yum info kernel.i686

通过上面的信息，我们可以看到 2.6.11的是已经安装了，因为已经显示的是Repo : installed ，下面还有一个Version: 2.6.12 ，告诉我们是Repo : updates-released，看来这个是升级用的了。
[root@localhost]# yum update kernel
升级内核全景如下：
[root@localhost]# yum update kernel

Is this ok [y/N]:
是不是升级，只需要在 Is this ok [y/N]:行的后面输入y或者N；
对于软件包的查询，还有，比如：
[root@localhost]# yum list available 列出所有升级源上的包；
[root@localhost]# yum list updates 列出所有升级源上的可以更新包；
[root@localhost]# yum list installed 列出已经安装的包；
yum 的命令支持通配符； 比如；
[root@localhost]# yum list mp* |more

2.安装和升级软件包；
安装和升级分别是 install 和 update 参数；比如；
[root@localhost]# yum update firefox
这样我们就可以升级 firefox了。
[root@localhost]# yum update firefox
