I just did a dual boot on Windows XP and Red Hat Linux 9..and it works fine. I did a presonal desktop installation. I think the front-end that I see now is the GNOME...and I tried to install KDE from Add/Remove Applications...but it gives me error. Also...the same problem when I am trying to install packages like Web server, software development tools for Perl etc...
Is it because that I opted for Personal desktop installation as opposed to others?
Also...it doesn' detect DVD's.
Can anyone plz provide some info on these issues? Thanks.

What error messages do you get?

In the Add/Remove Applications section there is an option that says :

Development Tools
These tools include core development tools such as automake, gcc, perl, python and debuggers

When I tried to install them it shows a table like this:

Unlocatable Package-----------------Required By
krb5-libs = 1.2.7-10--------------------krb5-devel
openssl = 0.9.7a-2---------------------openssl-devel

I tried installing KDE desktop and Webserver tools, and it installed them fine...it even aked me to insert the relevant Red Hat CD's and when I did. the installation went smooth. Only for this Development Tools option, it shows me this error. Do you know what's goin on here?
