Welp iv d/l all of the rpm's from
ftp://download.au.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Red Hat/i386 Now im just
wondering how to go about installing them.
Put the d/l rpms all in one directory, cd to it, and type rpm -Uvh *.
It will install all the rpms, unless you have unsatisfied dependencies,

Konqueror creates its own thumbnails first time the directory is
accessed. They are then saved in the dir in a .pics/large|med sub
directory according to the icon size.
Next time the directory is accessed the loading is lots faster.

I would recommend verifying the rpms first using:
rpm -K *
If an rpm did not download correctly and you try to install it you could
end up with a whole world of pain to fix.
Also if they have been digitally signed this will verify they were
packaged by who they say they are and that the rpm has

Has anyone used a CD writer connecting via USB, and if so is it a
recommended way of doing things?
I'm considering USB because I'll be able to swap the drive between my
collection of PCs and eventually plug it into my PS2 when I get the
Linux kit.
OTOH if it's dog slow, expensive and
I believe that is products like these that are really going to help
Linux to break into the end user market. Especially for small
businesses. I know that this is only a very small step... and I am still
promoting Microsoft, but I use MS Office everyday, if I could do that on
a Linux machine,
H, rpm -Uvh * has never worked for me in the past upto and including RH7.2, always
complained lots about dependencies and never installed anything, case in point being
Ximian, downloaded all their rpms and tryed it, no go so went with the nodeps option
and it worked.

Last time I looked rpm tells you which dependencies are not satisfied,
but not which packages satisfy them (how could it?). That's where the
guesswork comes in.
Unless your rpm is
[sorry, meant to go to list]
imho rpm -Uvh * won't work for two reasons:-
1) There are _hundreds_ of dependency errors because that command will
attempt to install the rpms in alphabetical order, and..
IMNSHO that is BS. rpm will resolve all dependencies of all the
packages on the command
imho rpm -Uvh * won't work for two reasons:-
well actually it DOES on mandrake because I have done it so there *blows

true, but go to rpmfind.net and search for the dependency, eg
libcomplex.so.4 and it will tell you what rpm it is in. You can then

I get around this by using wget to update a local cache directory of
RH7.2 updates from the French rpmfind.net mirror, which is heaps faster
than the RH site. Not forgetting, of course, to set the machines'
up2date config to leave the RPMs intact after installation.
Noo! Use rsync.
Just tested rpm on RH7.2 rpm -Uvh * on a directory full of rpms which together all
satisfy each others dependencies, the first thing it did was complain about failed
dependencies rpm 4.0.3-1.0.3
