Hi All,
I've got a Red Hat 7.0 box that I installed as a server. It now turns
out that I'd like it to be a desktop. This means I've got packages
I want to install (and probably get rid of as well).
My question: Is there a command line/text based tool, like glint
(at least that's what I think the X based tool was called) that will
allow me to choose packages to install? Something that will detect
dependecies between packages and install them in the right order.
Or can I just "rpm -i *.rpm"?
Ideally, I'd like the package selection screens that come up under
a text based install of Red Hat.
TIA,
Doug
