in mandrake if i want to install some software
i do

Code:

urpmi <sometringinprogramname>

it shows me the programs that contain that string
wich it finds in its database(wich needs gradual
update) and i hit again

Code:

urpmi <exactprogramname>

and it downlaods than installs the rpm
and that would be all but in vector linux
i dont know how to do this...
i need help

i think vector comes with slapt-get, try a man slapt-get or slapt-get --help at the command line.

yes,
slapt-get --search
slapt-get --remove
slapt-get --install

Hi guys,

Does anyone ever installed Java J2SE 1.4 (downloaded from Sun.com) onto VectorLinux machine? I have tried but I got errors..

It failed because of dependencies problem. The installation can't find glibc,sh-utils, fileutils,gawk, textutils and /bin/sh....
