That would make things very simple. Try this: -determine what filesystems are where "fdisk -l" -make a mount point "mkdir /mnt/windows" -try to mount it (eg. with windows on hda1) "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows" -if needed, define the file system (eg. fat32) (see man) "mount -t fat32 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows" -from there you can install the rpm -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
