step 1
buy the REQUIRED license from red hat And if you have to ask then YOU WILL NEED the $ 299/year license https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/desktop/ RHEL is a "Server" class operating system and as such there is almost NO support for the hardware on laptops RHEL6 might mostly work on most laptop hardware BUT NOT ALL !!!!!!! So check with the sales rep if your hardware IS compatible or not if you are NOT going to buy the required support contract then install one of the FREE rebuilds CentOS6.3 or ScientificLinux 6.3 step2) get ONLINE with the laptop fallow the vlc install instructions on the vlc web site for rhel http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-redhat.html WARNING!!! the third party repo" RPMforge is INCOMPATIBLE with the BASE rhel system repos and CAN kill your install if you are NOT careful!!! so install and CONFIGURE!!! ( yes configure it ) the yum plugin " yum-priorities " search for it on the RHEL knowlage base ( you have to login using the username you set up with the license ) https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/search the full instructions ARE there or see the CentOS wiki page http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities without the REQUIRED support license you DO NOT install software on RHEL period, you do not ! |
Thanks for the reply but my pblm is not instaling rhel it installed and working perfectly , i will use the link provided by u an revert u

if you have a paid up red hat account installing vlc is easy
1)install "yum-priorities" 2) install the rpmforge repo 3) configure rpmforge with a LOWER priorities ( a higher number like 110) 4) Code:
su -on a second computer that DOSE have internet access one by one find the prerequisites that rpm is erroring on and burn to cd or usb this will take about a week to manually one at a time manually find things installing from random Google searches WILL cause problems. They can be INCOMPATIBLE!!!!! So ONLY use rpmforge so step 1 for offline 1) get online go to a coffee house and use the wifi go to a friends house and plug in the cable |
