how do i install package groups with up2date in RHEL AS 4

tolliem · 03-23-2005, 01:07 AM

using up2date from the command line, there is an option to show groups

up2date --show-groups

i assume this shows groupings of packages from the comps file

i know when using kickstart, to install package groups you specify in ks.cfg

@ <PACKAGE GROUP>

example

@ GNOME
@ KDE etc. etc.

can up2date be used to install package groups also?

I have tried-->

up2date --install @ GNOME
up2date @ GNOME
up2date @ GNOME Desktop Environment

etc. etc. but states the following package you requested is not found

thnks in advance

i figured it out.....use up2date -i @<package group name>

ex: up2date -i @GNOME Desktop Environment
