The RPM command
Hi there, Some comments about my Sunsolve document Infodoc ID: 70394 "How to Install a Package Under Sun[TM] Linux (LX50), Redhat AS 2.1 and 3.0, Suse Linux ES" This is very important to understand that this apply to all RPM enabled operating systems. (See the systems we do support : http://www.sun.com/software/linux/) For example, using any SUSE Distro, you'll probably try to maintain your installation using the GUI named YAST/YAST2 but the things to know is that it will manipulate the system packages using the native RPM commands. That will be the same for "*drake tools" from Mandrake distro or any Gnome RPM management tools. So if you've got a single package to install, you'll probably get some precious time by using the shell and the relevant RPM command and for sure you'll start to understand what's going on.
