newbie help
 

hey guys, i'm a newbie. I'm trying to download pine/pico (i know, i've received all the lectures about vi and all that) anyhow, when i try to install it it has all these dependencies (open ssl) and then when i try to dl that there are even more dependencies and it keeps on stacking. is there a full package download that I could get so taht I have all of the dependencies. I'm running Mandrake 9.0

Have you checked out 'urpmi' (man urpmi)? It is supposed to help with the dependicies.
Are you wanting to use the mail program Pine, the editor Pico or both?
If you are just wanting a simple editor both Nano (a Pico clone) and 'jpico' (run the Joe editor in Pico mode) work well.
Don't forget to use '-w' (no wordwrap) for system files.

There's an Intel RPM of the pico package available here, with a links to all the required RPM packages.

If you use the rpm command to install these all at once, it should (stress SHOULD) install fairly painlessly :P
