View 5 Replies View Relatedi read somewhere (I think an article by AlienBob) that you needed to make sure .tgz packages where located in a safe place as opposed to the home directory so as to prevent accidental deletion.
I have a number of .tgz packages that I have already installed and moved to the /bin/ directory for safe keeping, but its not very orderly, ya' know?
Is it safe to delete/rm these .tgz files? Im assuming that the installpkg command extracts the creamy nougat inside and puts it somewhere useful.
Also, even if it is safe to delete, what is best practice in this case? keep them forever in some isolated directory?

I'm running debian live off the cd to see if it fits my requirements. One of my pet peeves about ubuntu is the use of ctrl ctrl is hosed. the os does not seem to use it for anything, but no application can use it. This is the default for google desktop search, which is highly convenient. Seriously considering the move.I ran debian live and went to install the app. Message comes up archive type not recognised.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have fedora 11 as a host and two guest os rhel5 on VirtualBox. I wan to install a local repository on fedora 11 so that my guest os rhel5 can install packages through http with yum.To do this what I have done so far:
>Install httpd
>chkconfig httpd on
>service httpd start
>createrepo -v /var/www/html/rhel5/
>create file rhel5.repo in guest os /etc/yum.repos.d/
Code:
[RHEL5]
name=rhel5
baseurl=http://192.168.1.1/rhel5
gpgcheck=0
Here 192.168.1.1 is my fedora 11 local IP but have a look on the following error msg:
Code:
[pc5 ~]# yum install nfs*

fact is same process i have followed when i had rhel5 as a host os and i found no problem.Is there any problem with fedora 11 createrepo command that does not allow rhel5 to install package over http.
