As i am a new linux user i am not aware of how to find out the kernel
version,
[root@sim-dude (Thu Mar 18)~$
uname -a
Linux sim-dude 2.4.21-0.13mdk #1 Fri Mar 14 15:08:06 EST 2003 i686 unknown
unknown GNU/Linux
[root@sim-dude (Thu Mar 18)~$
I am clueless about installing applications that do not have
rpms.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&client=REAL-tb&q=installing+linux+applications+from+source
gave me the following results
read the following
http://librenix.com/?inode=1625
http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-6261-1032352.html
Even with rpms after i run them with the package manager i dont
know how to run the installed application.I would be extreamely pleased
and thankful if you could help me out.
Applications installed are usually stored in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin partitions
To find out what are the files installed by a particular RPM do the following
[tom@sim-dude (Thu Mar 18)~$
rpm -qa | grep "lftp" -iE
lftp-2.6.4-2mdk
[tom@sim-dude (Thu Mar 18)~$
rpm -ql `rpm -qa | grep "lftp" -iE`
/etc/lftp.conf
/usr/bin/lftp
/usr/bin/lftpget
/usr/lib/menu/lftp
