Okay, maybe my BASH script isn't dead yet... to install the latest SystemImager on a "stock" RedHat release 9 I had to do the following:


#perl �MCPAN �e shell
cpan>install XML::Simple
cpan>install AppConfig
cpan>install DBI
cpan>install Tie::Watch
cpan>install modules
cpan>install Class::Fields

Then force install of the Perl-Tk RPM downloaded from rpmfind with the "--nodeps" option (since the CPAN "Tk" wouldn't compile). Then (since they were all CPAN downloads and not RPM modules) I had to force the packages on with nodeps as well:

cd /tmp/sis-packages
rpm -Uvh --nodeps systemconfigurator-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh --nodeps systemimager-common-3.0.1-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh --nodeps systemimager-server-3.0.1-1.noarch.rpm

Am I doing something really stupid here or will all other Red Hat users (and users without the Perl modules in their Distro) run into this? Is anyone else using Red Hat? Why is this so hard? Why does the SystemImager installation procedure change every few months?

Perhaps it could be a bash script that pulls down all the CPAN modules (for a Red Hat distro.) though I guess installer.pl could do it to.

I dunno... Just a thought... prolly I'm doing something dumb again.
