Installing Packages?
 

How do i install packages throught the console in RH8, I cant install anymore using the package manager cuz it stopped working, nothing happens when i click on the packages icon. thanks

Its its an RPM then you can do:

rpm -ivh package-name.rpm

man rpm for more details and options

or you can read the man pages for it online at http://man.linuxquestions.org and or view the glossary term which explains a bit about rpm here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ryid=65&long=1

If its a tarballed (tar.gz) type file, check out this link: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=45094

No, because I dont know what packages to install to make the package manager in Kde work.:confused: :confused:

Have you tried, from the command line, redhat-config-packages or redhat-rpm-config ?
Don't know if those will help you find the package manager package or not, but they might have some listings you can search through for 'package' or something.

good luck

Glock Shooter, ok, put it down and step away.... ;)

Thanks, the redhat-system-config worked, I dont know how but after typing that in the console now the icons works:confused:
