Any help appreciated.The exact same way you install any other package. If i386 or noarch packages are available, they will be listed. In this case, none matched your search, the most likely cause is that you don't have the extras repository enabled.This is why doing a quick google search or list archive search is always suggested, as this question (the nx portion) was answered for someone else by Karanbir less than two hours before you posted this.
I did it (i'm not a LINUX newcomer). See below!!! ;-)
See http://wiki.centos.org/FreeNX (Karanbir's suggestion).
Hi Kevan, I do not agree with you. I did a fresh CentOS install. Please have a look at http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories On this page you will find: -------------------------------------- snip ---------------------------------------------------CentOS Extras - This repository is for items that provide additional functionality to CentOS without breaking upstream compatibility or updating base components. The CentOS development team has tested every item in this repository, and they build and work under CentOS-4. They have not been tested by the upstream provider, and are not available in the upstream products. This repository is shipped with CentOS, and is enabled by default.
-------------------------------------- snip ---------------------------------------------------- The last line says: then CentOS extras repository is enabled by default.
