I'm helping a guy on a redhat 9 system get his modem working. It's one of those nasty winmodems, but is supposed to be well supported by the hfsmodem driver.
He tried to install (and I'm making up the exact file name): hsfmodem-1.2.3-i686.rpm This didn't work, and I think it's because he was supposed to install hsfmodem-1.2.3-athlon.rpm (the help files say the achitecture is important for getting this particular driver running). Anyway, I tried to run: rpm -e hsfmodem-1.2.3 and I get something like: sorry, hsfmodem-1.2.3 is not installed So I go: rpm -ivh (or -Uvh) hsfmodem-1.2.3-athlon.rpm and I get: hsfmodem-1.2.3 interfers with hsfmodem-1.2.3 The question is, how do I fool rpm into believing one package is not there so I can install the other if it appears there seems to be something stuck in rpm's database (or whatever system it uses to keep track of installed packages)? Any ideas? Thanks, Dave Margolis _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
