Hi, Still having problems with the dependencies.
In answer to various questions, I'm using: rpm -Uvh xchatblahblahblah as my command to execute the program. I believe this is 'verbose' mode, as has been questioned of me a couple of times. I've bought a book, which seems good, but still doesn't help me navigate yet (gotta get through the book), but did include Mandrake7.1, and so I have found (in the lib file) the dependencies I'm after. Question is - how do I copy the files from the CD - cp is the command I'm presuming, but where does the file have to go to be 'found' my Mandrake? Onto another topic, one of the things I've heard, and agree with, is to NEVER log onto the net using superuser. Fair enough, but while I'm doing 'stuff' like trying to install a program, I use su, but log into terminal and change to su. Question is - am I breaching any security issues? I'm logged into Gnome as the user 'ian' but logged into terminal as the su. 'ian' has logged onto the net, but 'su' is there in a terminal. How risky is this?
