Guys m not able to install netconfig command as dependecies exists between pkgs....I tried --nodeps option but it makes command not to work...how to install it and i need some dependent packages which m not getting for ma RHEL5 distro...these are libnewt.so.0.50 and libslang.so.1 n can nybody tell me wht is kudzu?

how are you trying to install?? have you tried using yum??
or

download the package and run

basically m nt able to configure yum as ma system is nt connected to RHN and to internet...so i need to manually do it.....Can I cofigure yum without using internet..somebody has suggested me the procedure but it is asking me to register to RHN which is not falling in its place...so what can be done please suggest every possible suggestion I downloaded the package from net n jus tried to install using rpm -ivh ...

question - do you have yum installed???
yum can be installed from an rpm.

if you do, yum localinstall packagename should work

No man I dont have yum installed will you provide me d procedure??? I followed a procedure suggested by my friend which is

Steps to make yum repository

1. Install vsftpd package. This package will create a ftp directory in var directory.

2. create a directory at this location
/var/ftp/pub/my-repository

3. copy all the rpm packages in this newly created directory.

4. run following command

createrepo -v /var/ftp/pub/my-repository

5. create a file ---->>>>> my-repository.repo

/etc/yum.repos.d/my-repository.repo

6. contents of my-repository.repo file

[my-repository]
name=rhel5.0 repository
baseurl=file:///var/ftp/pub/my-repository
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

7. Thats it.......

now run command

yum list available

But it gives some error warnings n messeges...than ur system is not registered with RHN
RHN support will be disabled
No match for argument netconfig
nothing to do

so suggest me something

question is - what files are in the repo you created?
i assume you have the RH installation disks right???
this should at least be one of your repos??
you can check in /etc/yum.repos.d/
one of the repo files there should be pointing to the cd...
either way, this yum package must be on the cd..??? i dont really know how the RHN thing works.....as im using centos, maybe a RH user can answer this for you??

main thing to remember is that the repo file path /var/ftp/pub/my-repository must consist of a repository layout with files etc otherwise it would never work.

best thing is forget this repo thing and just install your packages off the install cd...

Man if I try to install netconfig utility in shows dependencies....with two more packages libnewt.so.0.50 and libslang.so.1 so m nt able to install that using CD....thats y problem is more complecated

ok..hang on..will find where those dependencies belong
why do you need netconfig anyway?? tell me what you need to do and i will tell you how

alternatively, check if you have neat installed. it does the same thing

'netconfig' is an ancient tool, last seen in Redhat 7 ?
eight years ago.

'system-config-network' is the modern tool in your OS.

1) su
2) system-config-network
.....

Iagree with knudfl, use system-config-network (or from GUI: System -> Administration -> Network), and follow this guide to set up your ADSL Modem.

Yum without network is giving you error mostlikely because other repo files are still in /etc/yum.repos.d/ folder. Move them in subfolder like "backup" (create subfolder with command "mkdir /etc/yum.repos.d/backup") and then try again.

When you fix your internet connection issue, be sure to move your repo file to backup subfolder and original repo files back to main folder to restore internet based yum.

I need to configure DHCP so I need to use that netconfig commands.. Thanx for your valueble support I'll try those stuff n get back to you as early as possible..

configure networking

set

in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX


that will sort that out....
