Title: problem with command line, won't access any files
Post by: James Mead on July 06, 2002, 11:26:25 PM

I've been trying to install a few extra RPM packages on my e-smith server, but have been having alot of troubles. I figured out how to SSH in to the command line as root, even figured out the basics to moving around, and how to download a package using wget, but I can't seem to get anything to install. I "cd" to /home/, and wget the package I want (which downloads fine), but when I type rpm -Ivh [filename], I just get a "no such file or directory". I've been following the directions for installing the RPM manager at this link http://www.dungog.net/sme/howto/install.html , but can't get anywhere. Can anyone reccomend any solutions?

well, I figured it out (sorta), instead of downloading the file I just did the rpm - command straight from the internet location, and everything worked out. Still don't know why I couldn't access the files locally, however
