I have obtained (from ftp.suse.com) the latest XFree 4.2.0 stuff, and followed the easy installation-instructions *to the letter* (another first for me :-) ). Unfortunately, I hit a bump during Sax2; does anyone have suggestions for what action I should take:
root@oilslick:/home/gordonp/sax2 > ls -al total 1155 drwxr-xr-x 2 gordonp users 113 Feb 27 14:41 . drwxr-xr-x 41 gordonp users 2030 Feb 27 13:47 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 gordonp users 1162255 Feb 27 2002 sax2-4.3-350.i386.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 gordonp users 12291 Feb 27 2002 saxident-1.1-103.i386.rpm root@oilslick:/home/gordonp/sax2 > rpm --nodeps --force -Uhv *.rpm sax2
I would suggest using YAST (1). I have used it for a long time and it has yet to kill my system. :-) JUst go to Package Management, install package, <Enter> (to enter the source), <Enter> (again to choose the directory, which in your case would be /home/gordonp/sax2), and you will see a list of the files, with those installed with an i or those installed but older than the present files with an o. Hit the spacebar on the o [will become x], F10, follow instructions, and before you know it you are done and all is well. ;-) YMMV -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871
