OK, this is EXTREMELY frustrating, an annoying time-consuming process the RedHat has been kind enough to deal with through their auto-updating. Regardless, Mandrake 8.2 comes with support for a number of devices that RedHat doesn't. Here's my problem: All I want to do is install an HTML editor. I'm informed the C++ compiler can't create executables. Search the 'Net, learn that I should update GCC. OK, no problem. rpmfind.net has what I need. gcc-3.2-1mdk.i586.rpm. Try to install it. Get message: binutils >= 2.12.90.0.7-1mdk is needed by gcc-3.2-1mdk gcc-cpp = 3.2-1mdk is needed by gcc-3.2-1mdk libgcc >= 3.2-1mdk is needed by gcc-3.2-1mdk So, I get binutils-2.12-90.0.15-1mdk.i586.rpm. Try to install that, get: libbfd-2.12.90.0.15.so is needed binutil* libopcodes-2.12.90.0.15.so is needed by binutil* Now, I could go on and on here, but you get the idea. There simply has to be a better way of doing this. I've got hours into attempting to install an HTML editor, more than enough time to FDSIK, install W98, and install 2 -3 GIGs of the applications to go what I need..... :/
