Hi,
I installed rhel 6 through custom based but after complete installation I came to know that few package which is need most has been missed out. For example there is not TEXT EDITOR, PDF DOES NOT SUPPORT, I need screenshot features mostly but even that is also not available. Please kindly suggest how can i make that available or if there is any way where i can reinstall RHEL 6 without formating so that i might not loose any existing data.

Looking forward to hear from you all.

1.You can use the package manager: ttps://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-graphical-rpm.html
2.You can use Yum: https://access.redhat.com/documentat...de/ch-yum.html

Then check out the package names and install them.

Welcome aboard.

The links below to the Red Hat site give information on text editors available, PDF Reader and software to take a screenshot.

If you have a partition or partitions with a Linux filesystem, you won't need to format anything. If you don't, then format a partition to use and if you have some other operating system or data partitions, make sure you don't format that partition or those partitions but use unallocated space.

If you plan to use Red Hat beyon the trial period, make sure you get a subscription and pay the fees.

keep in mind that RHEL is not free

you DO need to buy the REQUIRED support contract EVERY YEAR

the normal standard one year license is $ 299 per year
( there is a self support $49 per year version)

if you are not going to buy it then do not use it
after the 30 day trial expires you will not be able to install software without the license


or


install the FREE rebuild of redhat
CentOS 7.1
or for the older version
CentOS 6.7
