Disable a repo

Feb 2021

Introduction

repo files, in CentOS are located in '/etc/yum.repo.d'. These files hold information (URLs) about where repositories are for CentOS programs (tcpdump, htop, nload etc.)

Each repo has it's own file, CentOS-Base.repo, epel-release.repo etc.

Occasionally we might want to ignore or remove a repo file, in this example there is a repo file called cdrom.repo that I need to ignore/delete.
