Hey, I just installed Fedora and I got a driver for my wireless card and its .rpm file and i couldn't install it, it would come up and say that its error and that /mnt/cdrom or something like that seems to be unavailable and it won't let me install...anyone please help tell me how to make this rpm install work...thanks
ok well i got the driver off of linuxant.com for my wireless card, i was installing as the root and i tried installing as my name but both didn't work. I used the command that came with the readme which is the "rpm -i driverloader..." and didn't work and i double clicked the file and still didn't work
By not work, what happens? Do you get error messages? Does it just return you to a command prompt. It would almost be my guess, b/c you just used the -i that it actually did install.
In which case you can test this by typing
rpm -qa driverloader
Where driverloader is the name of the file, minus any numbers, minus rpm, etc.
ok i have to log out of windows xp and get on fedora and try again and write it down and post it on here, i'll do that as soon as i get back home tonight. I tried installing it from root too it does the same thing...
