problems updating fedora 2 system using add/remove programs
 
im trying to update my system because i just reinstalled fedora 2 and i didn install (im not sure what the file is but im missing the wish command)
i try and update my system with new packages, and when it asks me to change cd i change the cd, click the ok button to carry on with the update i get this error:

The disk was unable to be accessed for reading. Please confirm that it is in the drive and try again.

i have tried umounting and then mounting the cd and that didn help :(. can anyone give me and advice ?

If you have a broadband connection, you can download apt and it's gui synaptic from the rpm repository at http://fedora.us . Apt is a powerful tool that can update your system with just a few commands or clicks. I find that that the default package manager in fedora/redhat is not very good and I always have problems with it.

the wish command belongs to the tk package.

ok i have APT how do i download the tk package because i cannot install it using "system settings > add/remove software" because when i switch CD's in the middle of the update it wont accept the next cd :s

ok i have found 2 rpm packages, 1 for tcl and the other for TK. when trying to install them i get this error:

[root@myroom ben]# rpm -U tcl-8.3.5-181anthony.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libtcl8.4.so is needed by (installed) tuxracer-0.61-26
libtcl8.4.so is needed by (installed) expect-5.39.0-96.1

does anyone know where i can get libtcl8.4.so ? or an easyer way to setup tcl/tk !

/usr/lib/libtcl8.so.4 is a part of the tcl package that comes with the Fedora CDs. the package is tcl-8.4.5-7

i have searched throught the cd in add/remove programs and i cant find the tcl package anywhere :(. do you know what section it would be under or anything ?

tcl rpm is on CD1 and tk and tclx rpms are on CD4

From a terminal window or console, (Ctrl-Alt-F1), type the command

#rpm -q tcl
#rpm -q tk

this will let you know whether these packages are installed. if you want to install the packages,

#rpm -ivh <package name>
