    In Red Hat, Fedora and other RPM based distros, do
    rpm -qf /path/to/file
    to see the name of the package used to install the file.

    In Fedora, you can use the "whichcd.py" program from the comps-extras
    package to see which install CD contains the package.
    /usr/share/comps-extras/whichcd.py packagename

    Other distros may have different tools.
