Redhat 9 -how to install software from cd


Good Day,

I don't have x-server(no gnome or kde) running on my computer.
Only text mod.

I was wondering if there is any utility which let me instal softwar in the same way as(gnome)
start--->system setting---> add/remove applications.

Note: I know rpm but it let me install package 1 at a time,and I need to find packages over 3 cds.

Thanks.

You do know that Redhat 9 is now outdated and reached its end of life a few years ago right? Fedora Core which is one of the replacements of the old Redhat Linux, has yum which you can use at the command line to install packages.

Thanks for you reply.

I have used fedora core 1 and 5, but only for development.
The reason I use redhat is I am preparing my self for system/cluster administrator.
Redhad 9 is obslete but it has same directory structure as redhat Enterprise.
Could fedora core 5 be subsitute of redhat??(I am only talking about directory stucture)
In other words if some one tells me that you have make changes in
/some-directoy/some-script
would it be at the same place in fedora core too?
Because in redhat 9 its same as RH enterprise.(as I already said)

How about monitoring tool for fedora core 5 like nagois/rrdtool/cacti.

Thanks a lot.

If you want RHEL, then try Centos. Centos is RHEL without the Redhat logos and trademarks.

You are wasting time trying with RH9, since many things will have changed between RH9 and RHEL4.

Fedora is the base for RHEL, so the directory structure will be the same.
