I have to do a manual install of an RPM package (openoffice-writer) on an Amazon Linux AMI. The package isn't available via Amazon's yum repositories. I know that Amazon Linux is enterprise linux (EPEL), per the info here: http://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/
The RPM will be grabbed from here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3 <http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&limit=1&srodzaj=3&dl=40&search=openo ffice.org-writer> &limit=1&srodzaj=3&dl=40&search=openoffice.org-writer When I do a 'uname -a' on the machine, I get: Linux ec2-187-77-143-124.compute-1.amazonaws.com 2.6.35.14-106.49.amzn1.i686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 2 18:20:01 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Can anyone provide some insight as to what RPM version I should be pulling? I'm suspecting some version of CentOS. Is there another place to look to get more detailed info on what I have? -MikeR
