In fact, some better rpm tags would be more "right" to use : Vendor or Packager have other use. hth On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 5:35 AM, Chinnakka K Batakurki < chinnakka.batakurki@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Thanks a lot for the response, but it did not give me the shar file name To make my query more clear, we have created shell archive of the rpm files I want to know which shell archive file is used, after installation Thanks!
