+There you can see two example results: ``centos`` and
+``slantview/centos-chef-solo``. The second result shows that it comes
+from the public repository of a user, ``slantview/``, while the first
+result (``centos``) doesn't explicitly list a repository so it comes
+from the trusted Central Repository. The ``/`` character separates a
+user's repository and the image name.
+
+Once you have found the image name, you can download it:
 
 .. code-block:: bash
