 repo files, in CentOS are located in <color #00a2e8>'/etc/yum.repo.d'</color>. These files hold information (URLs) about where repositories are for CentOS programs (tcpdump, htop, nload etc.)

 This allows us to install <color #00a2e8>yum-utils</color> while telling CentOS to ignore repositories listed in the <color #00a2e8>cdrom.repo</color> file.

+If we wish to disable a repo permanently then we can use the following syntax:
+\\
+\\
+<color #22b14c>sudo yum-config-manager --disable cdrom</color>
+\\
+\\
+This will tell <color #22b14c>yum-config-manage</color>r to disable the repo file <color #22b14c>cdrom</color> (note we do not require the .repo extension)
+\\
+\\
+For this to work the <color #22b14c>yum-config-manager</color> must have been installed <color #22b14c>(yum install yum-config-manager)</color>.
