I am back to the "Red" side at the moment installing a Fedora 14 virtual machine in VMWare. I have not used Fedora since about 3 or 4. I want to install Gnome Commander. In Ubuntu I check the repository "...ubuntu lucid partner" and I can find Gnome Commander within the Synaptic Package Manager tool.
In Fedora 14 I do not find Gnome Commander listed in the Add/Remove Software app. I find something which looks similar to the Ubuntu Repositories functionality in System; Administration; Software Sources. However, these all appear to be Fedora specific.
So I did a search and determined that Gnome Commander was available via yum.
Quote:
su -c 'yum install gnome-commander
|
did the trick. So I guess my questions are:
Where did yum find the Gnome Commander package to download?
Is there a way to add that place to the sources which feed Add/Remove Software?
Is there something big picture wise which I am missing here?
TIA,
Ken
