Excuse the newbie status but would it be possible to go through some fairly basic stuff on Sunday as well as all those really neat demos like last time.
Things like compiling the kernel, installing .rpms and getting my poxy sound card (SBLive value) to work on a RH6.0 distro would be great!
Anybody needing a lift from the Diss area mail me.
Looking forward to it.
Cheers,
BJ

Well, at least the kenel compilation. I dunno what I do, but about 2/3 of the time I make kernels with dead networking :-( What I do now is pinch the Slackware net.i config file and only tweak it a bit.
As for rpms... If you have a package foo-3.1-14.rpm that will be version 3.1 of program foo, 14th version of that package. rpm -Uvh foo-3.1-14.rpm Upgrade (an install is an upgrade :-) Verbosely And with hashes to show what it's doing. rpm -e foo Uninstall package foo. rpm -qpl foo-3.1-14.rpm List the files in the package file. rpm -qpi foo-3.1-14.rpm Show the info for the package file. rpm -qa List *all* installed rpms. rpm -ql foo List the files which have been installed from the package foo. rpm -qi Show the info for the installed package foo. rpm -qf /usr/local/bin/foo Show which rpm /usr/local/bin/foo was installed from. rpm2cpio foo-3.1-14.rpm | cpio -div Extract the files from the package into the current dir *without* installing.
Hope this helps 'till next week... Oh, and I don't know anything about the SBlive :-(
