Title: Updating Sme 6.0.1..
Post by: Cyruz on November 03, 2005, 10:22:40 PM

Hello.
I don't quite get this.. I'm trying to update the server, and have downloaded the two packages yum and rpm-python. Ok.. well where do I put them ??
Logging into the server as "root" I only get access to 3 log files.. no file directory..  (??)
Logging into the server as "admin" I get no option to install anything as my eyes can see..

So my question is : Where do I put the files I am installing and how do I get to them ??

 :-?

Copy the files using Windows Explorer etc to an ibay share or your username home folder.
Look for these in My Network Places

Then logon as root and do either
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibayname
or
cd /home/e-smith/files/users/username/home

do
ls -al
to see the files listed

Then install using rpm -Uvh packagename

If you want to install all rpms in that folder then do
rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Then you can run the yum update commands
