Hi All,

I have two machine, one is desktop and laptop. Desktop have fedora 11 and laptop have fedora 10.

VLC player installed in fedora 11(Desktop).

My question, its possible to copy the VLC binary fine form desktop to laptop?

If possible means, how can do this things?

please advice me...

Thanks

If you simply want VLC installed on the laptop, I would recommend just installing from YUM as the easiest route.

Whether you can copy over the files from the F11 desktop depends on how you installed. If you compiled from source, I am not too sure that you could copy it entirely over because it would have been built with a different version of Fedora. You might have dependency issues crop up.

Laptop don't have internet connection, because its my personal computer.
And Installed VLC in my office desktop via yum.

any way to do the binary file copy?

Thanks,

From memory, vlc might be more than just 1 package when installed via YUM. However, assuming you could target each vlc related package in your rpm database, you do `rpm -ql vlc` to determine what files get created and where.
Then you could tar them all up and copy them over. (I really don't like the chances of this working seemlessly - but I would be interested to know if it did).

Or, you could download the source or pre-compiled RPM (plus any dependancies that your laptop doesn't have) and copy to your laptop via removable media.
Or, you could attach your laptop temporarily to the Internet.

I just did a yum install vlc on a install of CentOS 5.2 that did not have vlc installed. The dependency list included 62 packages. I would recommend somehow getting this laptop online. Manually trying to get all these packages together and installing them will be a NIGHTMARE.
