Hi Lenard,

I did install the FC 5 on the machine. I wasn’t getting anywhere with 4 so why not upgrade to the new one.

I’m over at the university and when I go in and look around I only find the file “rpm-4.4.2-15.2.src.rpm” so I grabbed it.

I’m not finding anything with “rpm-build-4.4.2-15.2.src.rpm” or “rpm-devel-4.4.2-15.2.src.rpm”. I think those are the ones I want.

I can’t believe how hard it is to find the file name in the redhat site. I would think there would be a search utility. This is really showing how green I am.

I’ll keep working at it,
Carl

I'm going to assume your running an x86 based system, below are the direct links to the so hard to find rpm packages;

I am running Fedora Core 5 and I'm trying to set this modem up on it. The modem is the only means of connecting to the internet so yum is out of the question. I've tried all the different versions of the LTmodem drivers I could find via downloading to a laptop and using a thumb drive. How do I get the drivers installed?

Try downloading the source rpm file found here;

http://atrpms.net/dist/fc4/ltmodem/

Make sure you have the kernel source and the kernel development packages as per the installation instructions then try something like;

rpmbuild --recompile --rebuild ltmodem-8.31a10-8.rhfc4.at.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/`uname -i`
rpm -Uvh ltmodem*.rpm

you have discovered that the slocate database is not built by default like it was in earlier distros. You have to build it, and maybe add a cronjob to update it regularily.

locate -u (I think) see the manpage for details.

Then you can go locate the rpm tools. (Or just use rpm -q as suggested)
One would expect them in /sbin ... so ls /sbin | grep rpm would also show them.


It is true, if you enable the atrpms repo, you can install via "yum install ltmodem" and Beorne Stronginthearm is your father's brother.
