[newbie] Installing packages and their dependencies from a http site
Dear All I would like to know how to use urpmi to install a package from a http site and with the respective dependent packages online at the same http site. Any ideas?

Re: [newbie] Installing packages
SU in a Konsole or be in root and type in "kpackage". If it is already installed the window should pop up for you to look for files. Also you could try "rpmdrake" to see what is installed or not installed. You can toggle on the reverse arrows on the tool bar to get installed or uninstalled. (Assuming you have rpmdrake installed also). Remember: Life is good, just don't weaken. -- Dennis a registered linux user #180842

RE: [newbie] Installing packages
KPackage and rpmDrake aren't in the menus, there's no configuration-Packagin, and they don't work from the console.

If you don't have kpackage or have problems, use the command line. To list all packages: rpm -qa To search for a specific package: rpm -qa | grep part of package name you want to look for To uninstall something: rpm -e package name It's not as easy as kpackage but it'll do the job. It won't let you uninstall anything without you removing dependencies first, so you can't break your system too badly. -- --Arcana

Re: [newbie] Installing packages
Kpackage should be a rpm on your installation disks you should be able to install it right from the CDs I'm not sure which one it is on, but I suspect it would be found on the second installation CD, just a guess, look on both. If you have RPMDrake installed then the installation of any rpm is mostly a breeze, barring dependencies getting involved. Let us know how this proceeds, there is a lot of help here on the list. -- Dennis a registered linux user #180842
[newbie] Installing packages
I used a very small install of mandrake, and now i want to add and remove packages. How do i do this? I also think drakconf is missing - how do i get it?
Re: [newbie] Installing packages
syhim77 wrote use kpackage to add and remove program under mandrake. also use kpackage to install drakconf. The source where to find drakconf rpm is from linux mandrake installation cd.
