Before using any RPM packages, you must know where to find them. An Internet search returns many RPM repositories, but if you are looking for RPM packages built by Red Hat, they can be found at the following locations: The Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs The Red Hat Errata Page available at http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/ Red Hat Network
If you are having trouble getting X (the X Window System) to start, you may not have installed it during your installation. If you want X, you can either install the packages from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs or perform an upgrade. If you elect to upgrade, select the X Window System packages, and choose GNOME, KDE, or both, during the upgrade package selection process.
If you attempt to install a package that contains a file which has already been installed by another package, the following is displayed: Preparing... ########################################### [100%] file /usr/bin/foo from install of foo-1.0-1 conflicts with file from package bar-2.0.20 To make RPM ignore this error, use the --replacefiles option: rpm -ivh --replacefiles foo-1.0-1.i386.rpm
