I see the following files and instructions: -------------------------------------------------------- tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-1 20-Jun-2006 17:54 66.8M [ ] tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-2 20-Jun-2006 17:56 41.8M [SND] tetex-3.0-3.nosrc.rpm 20-Jun-2006 17:56 11k [ ] tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-1 20-Jun-2006 17:58 66.8M [ ] tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-2 20-Jun-2006 18:01 62.0M [SND] tetex-3.0-4.nosrc.rpm 21-Jun-2006 21:35 11k
To get the package tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm, you need to do cat tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-1 tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-2 >tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm To get the package tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm, you need to do cat tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-1 tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-2 >tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm Both packages can be build from tetex-3.0-3.nosrc.rpm Peter ------------------------------------------------ OK if I catenate the two 586 files, I get one rpm. Presumably I can just unpack the rpm and go. Or do I need to do something with one of the two nosrc RPMs? And why are there two nosrc RPMs? I'm a tarball guy myself, although Slack has an RPM command too. Anyhow the first two are downloading right now. Stay tuned.
