Apologies, I'm dialled in to work and attempting to persuade an IBM
mainframe to play ball with me. I think I'm winning, but at the expense of
concise and clear answers to the list! :-(
If anyone out there has ever done any condition code processing in JCL,
they'll understand how twisted my mind is getting!

Subject: RE: [newbie] Installing software problems
Erm, Steve Flynn's reply was correct although I felt perhaps a bit
brief
and lacking in detail in case others are wondering and not sure how
to
do it.
Firstly you'll need to insert your cds, and mount your cdrom ('mount
/mnt/cdrom' probably -- you may need to be 'root' to do it.) Then
you'll need to change to the rpms directory which I think from
memory
are /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/ . You might want to check that. the
'ls'
command is your friend. Anyhow, you'll be looking for a .rpm file
along
the lines of XFree86-devel-something-something.rpm
I can't remember the specific name but it's something like that,
just then do
rpm -ivh Xfree86-devel-something-something.rpm
You'll probably need to be root to do this.
You should see something like
Xfree86-devel ############################################
Then go back and compile your package...
