I have a stupid question .. :-)
I have noticed that rpmdrake has been completely redone, and am now thorougly
confused about manually installing packages that I download from the
internet. Before, all I would have to do is tell Mozilla or Netscape to run
/usr/bin/rpminst, but now that doesn't work. I tried to add a local
directory using the new "Edit Software Sources" tool, but can't figure out
the syntax of what I need to add to properly configure it as a source. The
first two boxes are simple enough (a name, and the path of the directory),
but the third box is confusing me ("Relative path to synthesis/hdlist").
What the heck is that?? Ok, now that I've thoroughly confused everyone <g>,
here are my questions:
1. Is there a way to run the rpm installer program like I used to from Mozilla
or Netscape (a la /usr/bin/rpminst)?
2. How do I properly add a local directory as a source to rpmdrake?
Thanks!
