Complete linux noob. I'm using the creation of a headless slimserver box as my first foray into Linux. Having read the excellent instructions on the CC 4.2 distro, I went that way. On doing so, I realized what it is that drives me nuts.... when someone says "type this command..." and I don't know what the command does, I get frustrated. When you don't know what you're doing, it's hard to work around a roadblock. Worse, you may think you've gotten around a roadblock only to drive off a cliff.
In any case, everything seems to have worked fine, with one exception: the command "apt-get install perl-Digest-SHA1" came back with a "no can do" reply. Then the rpm command came back with a "you need perl-Digest-SHA1" A little hunting on this forum got me to find the --nodeps option and everything seems to work. I'm amazed! But what I want to know is, what have I done? Have I planted a time bomb in which slimserver is going to ask for perl-Digest-SHA1, not find it, and erase my hard disk or something? -- jfalk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jfalk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40622 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
