Hi all,
BACKGROUND
I just set up a new ssh server using the minimal install selection and
further customized it by also selecting individual packages. I added a
couple of packages and also deleted a bunch I would not need, such as the
kernel-pcmcia, wireless-tools packages etc. Since I'm not running X on
this box, I even went as far as removing all the XFREE86 packages that
were selected by default. (maybe this is my problem)
PROBLEM
Whenever i bring up a man page (see example below), there are all these
funny characters in it. Do I need to re-install on the XFREE packages to
solve this issue? The only dependency I saw for man was that it needed
GROFF which is installed. Thanks for your help!
Update Agent has a quite a few configuration options, including but not
limited to: installing packages after they are downloaded;
downloading
source RPMs along with binary RPMs; whether or not to upgrade
packages
where the default configuration file(s) have been modified, and
more.
You can change these settings through a graphical interface by
running
up2date�config, or you can edit the configuration file
/etc/syscon�
fig/rhn/up2date directly. A number of the command line
arguments
described below can also be used at runtime to override
configuration
options. There is also a text mode based configuration if invoked
with
with the ��configure option.
If you supply package names on the command line, those particular
pack�
ages will be updated or installed if there are new versions
available.
Only the package name is needed, do not supply any version or
release
information.
If the package is not currently installed, it will be downloaded
and
installed, along with any dependencies that package requires.
��configure
Configure Update Agent options. This will allow you to
adjust
things such as which files/packages to skip by default,
where to
store retrieved packages, and more.
�d, ��download
download packages only, do not install them. This
option is
provided so that you can override the configuration option
