GUI based application for Installing RPMs for Red Hat Linux 9?

AskMe · 07-29-2004, 06:13 AM

Is there any GUI based tool (software) for Installing RPMs on Red Hat 9, on KDE or Gnome, rather than using rpm command itself.

hi,

please use the "redhat-config-packages". it is the GUI based tool rather than the command line tool of rpm.

u will find "redhat-config-packages" in /usr/bin.

hi,

sorry for the earlier mail..

the "redhat-config-packages" GUI tool is used to add/remove programs contained in the Redhat CDs. it cannot be used to add any other rpm files..

sorry again.. in the earlier versions of redhat there used to be a glint.. but i am not sure of any other GUI tool..

for me, atleast, rpm is the best... and i like to have command line interfaces rather than the GUI tools..

Yah, you are right "majalee", I need tool like glint for Red Hat Linux 9. redhat-config-packages is of no use when it comes to installing RPMs apart from Red Hat CDs itself.
