Well, keeping in mind that I hate yast :-), you want to use the command line rpm program. man rpm if you really want to put yourself through pain and anguish (second only to the tar man page) or, in short : Installing: rpm -ihv <packagenames> Upgrading : rpm -U <packagenames> Removing : rpm -e <packagenames> Here packagenames can be either foobar-1.0.rpm or...my favourite, move all the packages you are installing/upgrading to a subdirectory and just do rpm -ihv *.rpm rpm -ihv foobar-1.rpm foobar-2.rpm jabba-1.3.rpm duhutt=1.3.rpm would also work. If you are getting your packages right from the Redhat site,and you are registered with RHN, you could always just use up2date. Hope this helps.

Is there something similar to yast in red hat that I can use to install additional packages? -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax: 602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing" -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
