I select upgrade, and it lets me select pacages, but it seems I have to first select the group, then select the indevidual package. Is there a way to either a: select the whole group b. Select all app like you can in the initial install. I want, for example, to install all devellopment tools, and all internet tools. At the moment, I know I'm missing a newsreader, and don't have g++. Sorry to keep bugging you. I'm tempted to wait for a sighted person and have them help me run the x-windows application configuration tool. It sounds more functional, if infinately less accessible. -----Original Message----- From: blinux-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:blinux-list-admin@redhat.com]On Behalf Of Janina Sajka Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2003 9:22 AM To: blinux-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: redhat installation help Just do the install again. There's an option to upgrade your current installation. That will give you the opportunity to add things in a sane manner. You won't need to repartition. Did you have Speakup during the installation? You should. Use its screen review features as you work through the installation. There's a bug in the newt libraries which sometimes causes speech to be one item ahead of the actual item selected, a sure sopurce of confusion at best. If you're uncertain, Insert+period on the numeric keypad will give you color attributes, such as "white on black." You can, if necessary, use this to determine where your highlight actually is. I know this is cumbersome. We've filed a bug report on newt, and we hope it will be resolved in the next Red Hat release, but it hasn't been resolved yet. michael malver writes: > From: "michael malver" <mmalver@visi.com> > > I downloaded and installed redhat 8 from the speakup website. > I have connectivity to the net, and up2date works. > I thought, when I installed, that I had selected 'all applications' but I > noticed gcc, and emacs (among others) were missing. > I know I can type > up2date <appname> > and that app will be installed. > Is there a way to make up2date install every linux app it knows about?
