Hi Steven
I see you found the graphical tool you were looking for (but didn't say
which one it ended up being), but I thought you'd like to know about the
simplest way of all to install rpms. With rpm!
Yes, but don't believe me - try it.
# to see what an rpm is all about before installing it
rpm -qip the.rpm # info about it
rpm -qlp the.rpm # list all files in it
rpm -qilp the.rpm # info and files
rpm -qdp the.rpm # list onlt documentation files
# and so on
# to install an rpm
rpm -i the.rpm
rpm -ivh the.rpm # verbose output and hash marks to show progress
rpm -i --test the.rpm # test first if you are paranoid
# to uninstall an rpm
rpm -e the # where the is the rpms name (like 'samba' or 'samba-common')
man rpm for more info.
