Sorry but I am new to this. How do I get into the Linux command prompt to install these packages. I boot my machine and I get the SME server login promp

Switch to another console by hitting Alt+F[2-6], e.g. Alt+F2, and log in as 'root' using the admin password you configured during setup.

So are a lot of us.  Just out of curiosity,  What are you trying to install?  Sometimes it's best to say just in case there is the possibility that some of the more experienced users spot a problem or know of any pitfalls.

All the best

One easy way if you have the options switched on is via Putty, but first copy them in to an ibay via Windows Explorer.  That way you can get files moved from a windows machine very easy.  Then use Putty to get in via the IP address and SSH, change to the ibay folder and then run the rpm -uvh commands.

In putting your files in to a directory, I find that the easy way is to install server manager installer which means you can actually do any install from the web pages.  To do this you need to install the following .rpm.
devinfo-mitel-update-system-0.0.1-14.noarch.rpm

Once you get this installed its so easy.....  Just pop in to the server manager and away you go

Forgot to add the folder once your in the server to find all this in is.

cd /
cd home/e-smith/files/i bays/ ****** what ever your ibay is called ******

Best of luck.
