ignore i moved it to the newbie forum
Alright I'm the first to admit Im a newbie.
Here's my problem, everytime I wanted to add packages I've been doing a full re-install there has to be a better way right? The Redhat support doco only explains how to do using the gui interface but im text interface only. I tried boot to the install disk and selecting upgrade but it just tried to update exisiting packages. I tried red-config-packages and redhat-install-packages but it gave a $DISPLAY error. I searched on google and the LDP and all the faqs and other threads I find all use the gui interface to do it. Please help!!! This whole backing-up and re-install thing is pushing me over the edge. |
To install an RPM, type:
Code:
rpm -ivh package_name Code:
rpm -Uvh package_name |
mount the install cd roms. cd to them and rpm the desired pkgs
|
And if you mean using their up2date feature it works without a gui aswell, just type up2date and there's something like up2date_config, or up2dateconfig, something like that, that lets you configure options for it.
man up2date possibly for extra info |
rpm -ivh --replacepkgs package_name
incase you feel taht something may have been lost man rpm ehd :newbie: :study: |
