[newbie] xfce4-rc2 rpms that Todd wrote.
Ok, Joe, if you're still up, I need your help. I downloaded the rpm packages for xfce4-rc2 that Todd was kind enough to create and I have them all in a file called xfce4-rc2 as per Todd's directions. The question is: what do I do now? Is there a way to install all of the packages with one command? Or do I have to install them one at a time?

If you add the dir they are in to your rpm sources (this can be done in mcc if need be) you can install them all at once. mcc (at cli) then software -- software sources -- add -- borwse (don't worry about hdlist). Then install by repository or something like that. For the last round, there were 4 that had to be installed in order, so don't forget to do those first (if that's still a rule.) eric On Mon, 21 Jul 2003 02:21:28 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, Joe, if you're still up, I need your help.

Is there a way to install all of the packages with one command? Or do I have to install them one at a time? I would just install the first four that require a certain sequence manually with: rpm -ivh libxxx.rpm Then I'd move those 4 to a subdirectory and then do: rpm -ivh *.rpm to install the rest. Unless, of course, you don't want to install all the packages. For example, I no longer use the iconbox or file mangler and I think a lot of people probably don't, too. Or, add them as a urpmi source like Eric or Joe suggested. HTH, Todd -- Name that tune #22: No caffeine, no protein, no booze or nicotine. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
