Out of curiosity, what is the -n switch for? I did not see anything in
the manpage. While trying it out, it seemed to create some different
output to stdout, but that could have been because I was trying it out
as a non-root user.
Thank

Mark,
'rpm -ql ' comes to mind--it tells you what files are in a
package and where they are.

how do you open after i download on windows
I reboot to Linux and then go to /mount/windowsand then transfer the
file to Linux then cannot open the package Is there something similar
to .exe in windowz?
Piero,
Well said all around. I couldn't agree more.
You are right about some place to find out
what all those terms and programs are, it
would be nice to have something like that
all in one neat package somewhere.
In the meantime thought, we really already
have one... it is online through any

sorry, frank...I really disagree with you, big time.
the packages are a wonderful bundle of joy to me,
those I don't use, I delete. If it is used by something
else, it tells you. If you aren't sure, you leave it alone
till you do. There have been many times when I found
some interesting tidbit

Hi,All
I have a question on packages that are on Linux. Is there a web site that
gives details of what the package is and etc?? I would like to be able to
know what to install and what I don't need. I think I am wasting space by
taking everything that is offered in the install.
This way I will

Hi,
I uninstalled Mandrake Update because of the problem I had. I'd like to
reinstall it--can someone give me the name of the package on my first CD?
Here's another question:
When I use Kpackage to find a file, I get two errors:
Kprocess error: Can't start dpkg
Kprocess error: Cann't start
23 matches
