Here are my notes: A1. LINUX PACKAGE MANAGEMENT PRIMER. Software Installation and Updates. root Access [neal]$ su root use the "su root" (switch user) command to access root authority whenever possible. Most root commands will run from here. If the command returns bash: adduser: command not found then "su root" does not have access and you must actually login as root to execute that command. Type "exit" to switch back to your previous signon from "su". "su" is the same as "su root". Software Update Commands yum yum installs and updates software packages (RPMs). RPM: a software package. rpm name formats: *.i386 32-bit software package. Use these rpms if your OS is 32-bit. 32-bit OS cannot run 64-bit rpms. *.x86_64 64-bit software package. Use these rpms if your OS is 64-bit. 64-bit OS can run 32-bit and 64-bit rpms. 64-bit is preferred. $ yum list packagename lists RPMs that are already installed or available to be installed. Installed Packages RPMs that are already installed. Available Packages RPMs that are not currently installed, but that are available on the software repositories for installation or update. $ yum update packagename updates already installed software package (RPM) to newer version. requires root login. $ yum install packagename installs package for the first time. requires root login. (You probably already know this stuff, but I'm including it so my instructions are more comprehensive) v/r, Neal -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
