Hello, I am shortly about to give an intro seesion on the linux desktop to some work colleagues. We are mainly a windows site, so to show installing rpm packages I was going to use nautilus or konqueror. Personally I run up2date, or install them from the command line. However, slecting an rpm and double-clicking on it doesn't seem to do much. I get prompted for the root password; it then says its preparing for system update, and that's it. The rpm is not installed. Anyone any ideas about this? I've had a quick look through the shrike archives (sigh; not searchable) and redhat bugzilla but found nothing. I'll go on to KDe to see is anything is there. Needless to say, this is going to be *real* embarassing if we can't even install rpm's from a gui. It would seem to be a pretty fundamental task, so I would expect it to work at least to some extent! :-) Thanks, John. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: John.Horne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fax: +44 (0)1752 233839
