first off, thanks to Phil, Greg & Joseph for answers to my last question. my brain
hadn't quite realized that suffixes do not decide if a file is executable or not.
maybe i can make some progress now =) or maybe not -- for my next question:
i'm trying to install a RPM file from the command line (ok.... is it just me or are
RPMDrake & Kpackage lame. if i'm going to install a RPM from the GUI why can't i just
browse the tree, find the RPM i want to install and click on it or something. both of
these programs just confuse me..... of course, actually i'm quite happy with a
command line -- so there)
anyhowz, when i type "RPM -i filename.rpm" i get back:
"no such file or directory"
yet when i do "ls"
the file is quite certainly there.
i tried using the whole file name with extension
i matched the case
still no dice.
could this have something to do with permissions?
but if i am root, permissions woudn't matter right?
can't root go anyplace & do anything?
any thoughts?
thanks much
