HarM, I am able to use the account just not able to get out with it. I am wanting to use urmpi as it resolves dependency problems, and I don't have to much time at work to do all the searching. It would be bad enough if they found out how much time I spend tinkering with my box as it is.
Thanks, Tony. -----Original Message----- From: H.J.Bathoorn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 3:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] urpmi as a user and not root On Wednesday 23 July 2003 16:07, Tony S.

If you can't be "su" or "root" on the machine you're working on you don't stand a chance without the sys-admin helping you. If you can't get out as root i.e. can't connect to external sites using urpmi or the packaging tool; you could always downoad the rpms to a local directory and use that as a source.
