Yes, where is #1? :) Also, as to not being able to run that code as a regular user... John, you have to be root to run the rpm command to install any package so this seems to be an invalid point anyway. Bullet point 6... here here I second that motion. Great job and thanks. While this info may seem trivial to the seasoned, a user that is learning may find these steps invaluable. Forget that we are talking webmin or even repo's vs wget|rpm (all learning points), the new user will learn a lot from just the mechanics of this process and by seeing the command line in action!
