Unable to use Add or Remove Packages !!!


Hey there, I am trying to install a few things i forgot to during my initial installation and when i go to System Settings then Packages it comes up for a few seconds as Checking System Status and when the progress bar gets to almost the end the progress bar box and the Add or Remove Packages box dissapears. I have also tried inserting the first cd and doing it that way, but it does the same thing. Ohh yeah, i am running redhat 8 and it says it has all the updates. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx again,

jmax24

are you logged in as root?

try running updatedb from the shell, then reboot, and retry the Add/remove applications.

You may need to just mount your install CD's and use the rpm command.
The rpms are on the CD man who needs the gui? lol.
