When you say "it doesn't recognize this command," what exactly _does_ it do? If it can't find the rpm command, IMO, that would be a Very Bad Thing. Perhaps your path is messed up, but I'm not sure how that would have happened. If it gives a different error, then of course the course of action would change. That command looks correct to install any package starting with usercfg. -- Dan Brown, KE6MKS, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Just as important, have you mounted the CD-ROM? Try it again after typing: 'mount /mnt/cdrom' If you get an error on the mount, someone here should be able to help you get that resolved. - Theo Joseph Gardner wrote: Are you logged in as root ???

Please make no assumptions. Well, the reason you're not finding a program or package called usercfg is because there ISN'T a package or program called usercfg. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but I just did a: rpm -qlp /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/*rpm | grep usercfg and came up with nothing. Brandon, perhaps you can tell us what you're trying to do and we can point you to an appropriate program that actually exists? :) If you're trying to configure something you might want to take a look at linuxconf, which you most likely do already have installed. -Tom
