The CLI is a very powerfull interface the "rpm" system is very useable IF you read the man pages and the builtin help system , You can save yourself a lot of heartache by learning and using the "cli" and "rpm" fully .
The first thing i do on any Linux install once it is up fully is make certain i have access to "xterm" and "joe" (cant stand konsole and kedit) a little bit of reading saves a lot of bother .
