Fedora Core 4 Review


Recommended Posts

Just out if interest, what's the equivalent to urpmi in Fedora?!? :P

 

Am figuring out how I can install additional packages.

 

Open your console or konqueror, and type in

man:yum

 

Yum isn't as good as urpmi, which isn't as good as apt/yet, which is worse than Smart, which pales compared to pacman, which... oh well, horses for courses.

OK, cool thanks for that.

 

Currently using Up2date to get the updates, and being bombarded with hundreds of GPG no signatures on the packages. Sigh.....click Yes, again, again, again..... :P

 

I'll check yum out, after I've finished clicking Yes :D

I ditched the up2date and let yum run overnight, which got the downloads, and now I just had to say yes to transaction test, and then it's all installing now.

 

Much better than yes to every package :P

I'm all up2date (but using yum) :P

 

Sorry about the pun. Bad I know. An off-topic question, anyone know what I use in Red Hat? I tried yum, but I guess they must have something else for the CLI.

Hmm... we could argue about that... My opinion is: every package manager has its strengths and weaknesses.

Yep, I've used every package manager know to linux/solaris/bsd and for "ME" I like yum a lot. :)
