I downloaded a package (rpm) from the web onto my hard drive (via windows
onto a fat16 drive). When I boot to Linux, I can see the package OK. (It
has a really long name with an extension of rpm)
How do I actually install the package?? I have tried changing to the
directory that the file resides in and entering rpm -i <packagename and
extension> and it errors out with a syntax error. I remove the extension
and same thing. In the man there is a plus (+) after the example - so I
tried that too - I still get a syntax error.
What am I missing???
Thanks in advance for any help!!
