I'm running Debian, but it seems I only have the vim-tiny package. I need the full VIM package,because I would like syntax highlighting. Here's the error I get when I try ":syntax on" command in VIM: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: syntax on Now, I've tried apt-get on the following recommended packages, but nothing seems to workvim-rt vim-full vim Here is a list of install VIM packages that I have
I need to somehow do a yum installation (or equivalent of) on a system that is offline with no access to the internet. (I do have access to another Linux system that has internet access, but the Linux installations on both systems have different packages installed and enabled.)
Let's say the command to enter is 'yum install pkg1 pkg2 pkg3' (the documentation for some applications I need indicate the installation instructions this way, and not as the actual RPMs I need). Is there a way for me to run that on my offline system?
e.g. one way I can think of is to run that command on the online system, somehow if possible take note of what RPMs get installed, then transfer them to the offline system via USB and install all the RPMs via rpm command.
The problem with my above idea is that the two systems have different packages enabled, so even if yum on the online system shows a few dependencies being downloaded, I could run download and install all these RPMs and their dependencies on the offline system only to find several more missing dependencies, and dependencies of those dependencies.
I've got an ASUS eee1005 that I'm trying to load eeebuntu -- I've read good things about it! However, I managed to get it (partially) installed using only unetbootin and the eeebuntu-nbr iso. Luckily I've got other working laptops in the house, or I'd be stuck because now I've got a partially installed distro that isn't allowing me usage of my wireless. Basically, what I'd like to do is be able to go back to the install process and load all the packages I want, which, hopefully, will give me NetworkManager so that I can finally connect. I can boot to the thumbdrive (8gig, btw) but I don't think I've got the right files on it to do the install. Here's what appears on the thumbdrive:
[code]...
I would think that with these files on the thumbdrive, it could find its way into the install process. Apparently not. I've read most, if not all of the 'install from USB' threads and how-to's, and it's still not working right - Now, having a partially installed distro (with GUI that's not GNOME, or KDE. . ?) Are there any options I can use to pickup where the install left off and start adding packages? Or should I just scrap it and re-install?
I am trying to do a 'light' install of Ubuntu 10.04 using the alternate install CD. Here is how i am planning to do it:
1. Perform a console only installation(Standard system only on d-i tasksel) 2. Install gnome-core 3. Then install the packages i need using apt.
1. Would such an installation lead have any significant performance(RAM usage) advantage over a full fledged installation?
2. Is there a way i could install gnome-core from the installation CD instead of downloading them from the repository?
3. Would installing just gnome-core mean that synaptic & update-manager wouldn't be available? i am hoping that it wouldn't be the case I checked their dependencies from packages.ubuntu.com, it doesn't look like they need gnome-desktop-environment to be installed first.
4. Would such an install have any more device driver related issues (eg.display drivers) than a regular install?
I just installed win 7 and now can't install fedira 13 on the partition that i made for it on the same drive. The problem is that after installation of win 7 i lost the ability to boot form cd. In bios i still have cd set up to boot first and drive second, but win 7 did something that overrides bios set up. I even tried Esc for boot menu, then i select to boot form cd, but it still boots in windows. What can I do to fix this?
I have 40gb of hd and I want Xp and fedora on it. I installed Xp first and now I want to install Fedora 12, every time I chose the space to iinstalll it, it says that there is no enough space to install it, although the xp just took less than 2gb of the disk. How can I resize it so that there is enough space?

What is the difference between install -c and cp? Most installations tend to use install -c, but from the man page it doesn't sound like it does anything different than cp (except maybe set permissions). When should I use install -c and when cp?

i have a folder which is similar to that. but it is missing few headers which i need like dlfcn.h,dirent.h.... and all that. so, my programs instead of compililng from my gcc/include they are getting compiled from /usr/include, which i dont want. so, i want to update it. checked the net to get such portable gcc. but i couldn'fd find. ifound one link [URL] i downloaded files from the this link, because this structure is very similar structure like my "_lin"(portable gcc). but it is noe allowing to download certain files in /lib like libstdc++.so... and few other files. i thought those are compiler specific shared objects.so, i was left with no answer to my question. where to find portable gcc-4.4 ?

I just want to know how to install anything. I am new to linux but have followed it for a long time. I tried linux at one point in time 8 or 9 years ago but it was too difficult if there was no one around to hold my hand.I've heard that pclinuxos et al have become very user friendly, but it seems user friendly to people who already speak the language. I don't but want to continue using if I can get some functionality out of the programs.
I am looking at libre office and wine (I need ms office for a contract that I have and I do have that on my laptop, but if I can use my pc and laptop that would be great.)If someone could give the 'for dummies' version of how you install programs that have been downloaded,- in kindergarten speak, too.I have pclinuxos kde. I try to access the files in ARK but it doesn't recognize them so that must not be the first step.

I installed Ubuntu edition (10.04) on my windows 7, completely eliminating it to the original installation. After I was forced to reverse the process, but could not find tools or explanations of how to do it.
To clarify the equipment, it is: a netbook, acer, no optical drive cd / dvd, the process should be fully via USB.
I want to get the source code of a small command line tool using objdump on Mac OS X.I've used arm-linux-objdump on Linux and find it a great tool.Is there any way to install objdump on OS X? I've searched Google and found information about arm-apple-dawin9-objdump, but failed to find anything to download.
How can I install an RPM on a machine where I don't have root permissions? I want to install a package for my use only in a personal work directory. I'm running SuSe SLES10. I know I can request this of the root god, but I'll be shot down (for immaculate, impeccable reasons, I'm sure...). Besides, he'll never get around to installing it even if he does say he'll do it.
