installing default packages after installing linux
Hello all,
I installed RHEL 4.0 with minimal package selection. Now, I need to install GNOME, KDE, open office, developers tools, games and so on.
If there was gnome already installed i could have go to add/remove program and installed additional packages. But I dont have any graphical environment now. Its very tedious to install all those packages using rpm. If there had been text based software for installing packages, it would have been very easy, like i could check developers tools, kde and gnome and installed all of them with single click. It would ask me for cd one by one.
I'm just saying that it would be alot easier to install them in the first place instead of coming here to ask how to install them
anyhow learn how to use the yum command
man yum
I know how easy it would have been. But sometime you can come to situation where you have to install lots of packages and you dont have gnome installed. I was just trying to learn new things.
Thanks for the yum.
Actually i was looking for commands like netconfig.
