I have downloaded fedora 9 iso to my xp os so I can dual boot my machine. I can't seem to find a place to plug up my RJ-45 to download the extras package in an RPM or a tar file so that I can transfer it onto my linux os so I need a wireless site to download from.

if there is a way of downloading some extra packages and including some extra repositories that will automatically install during the main installation? With the option of a few settings being saved too... like for those that are used to windows having the gnome menu on the bottom.
I am promoting and convincing a lot of people to try Linux and I always recommend fedora as the OS of choice. I have no interest in creating my own distro, because I love Fedora. I just want to make sure these users can have all the codecs and little extras that makes computing fun without being a geek.My main issue is when I wipe their HDD and install Fedora, I then have to repeat the same tweaks and installs every time. This is my 7th time doing the exact same install and am looking for a quicker way.
On Fedora repo I found VirtualBox-ose packages there. What will be the difference in operation/function between their packages and the packages download on virtualbox.org website?

View 14 Replies View RelatedHow do you instruct wget to recursively crawl a website and only download certain types of images? I tried using this to crawl a site and only download Jpeg images:
wget --no-parent --wait=10 --limit-rate=100K --recursive --accept=jpg,jpeg --no-directories http://somedomain/images/page1.html
However, even though page1.html contains hundreds of links to subpages, which themselves have direct links to images, wget reports things like "Removing subpage13.html since it should be rejected", and never downloads any images, since none are directly linked to from the starting page.I'm assuming this is because my --accept is being used to both direct the crawl and filter content to download, whereas I want it used only to direct the download of content. How can I make wget crawl all links, but only download files with certain extensions like *.jpeg?
EDIT: Also, some pages are dynamic, and are generated via a CGI script (e.g. img.cgi?fo9s0f989wefw90e). Even if I add cgi to my accept list (e.g. --accept=jpg,jpeg,html,cgi) these still always get rejected. Is there a way around this?
I like to check out movie trailers on trailers.apple.com I also like using Opera I know there is some issue with apple and the code for the new streaming codec version or something of the sort. Also, I can't even download the trailers from the site to watch them from my hard drive. It's like the linking system wont function properly.

wget -e robots=off --no-clobber --no-parent --page-requisites -r --convert-links --restrict-file-names=windows somedomain.com/s/8/7b_arbor_day_foundation_program.html
However, the page I'm downloading has remote content from a domain other than somedomain.com. It was asked of me to download that content too. is this possible with wget?
I want to make a rescue disc for debian such that if anything goes wrong everything can be restored to its original condition. whatever extra packages are installed they should also be put back. most importantly zimbra and its dependencies.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to know how to install KDE on Ubuntu and Gnome on Kubuntu.
The commands
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
are not the solution, because they install all distro packages, and I want only the base of desktops KDE and Gnome.
I can install LXDE with
apt-get install lxde
instead of
apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
I can install Xfce with
apt-get install xfce4
instead of
apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
However, I could not do the same with KDE and Gnome.
if I wanted to install all the packages from the slackware cd in the extra dirctory do I have to install them one by one or is there a way to install them all at once?
View 1 Replies View RelatedInstall One :
Installed Debian Squeeze onto my laptop using the netinst cd. During installation, I did not have access to the internet and installed "Standard System" during tasksel.
Install Two :
Installed Debian Sqeeze onto my desktop using the same netinst cd. However, this time I had connected the desktop to my router during installation. Similary installed "Standard System".
Both system later installed with KDE and working fine. Noticed that immediate after installation of the "Standard System", my desktop had more files installed eg. the exim package. Why the extra packages (eg exim) are installed? Are they actually required?
I have two files containing list of packages using
Code:
dpkg --get-selections > file-name
command.
package-a.txt
[code]......
Now I would like to create a third file which contains only those packages which are present in package-a.txt but NOT in package-b.txt. The file should look like this:
Code:
package2
package4
Note: The world "install" is also to be removed for all packages. Using diff command I could get something like this:
Code:
temp# diff -yb package-a.txt package-b.txt | grep "<"
package2 install <
package4 install <
<
temp#
But not sure how to remove instances of "install" and "<".
I have just installed Debian Lenny and was trying to upgrade the installed packages from the packages.debian.org site. when i asked synaptic to add the downloaded packages the would not appear, but when i checked the .xsessions file there are entries saying that the packages were being ingnored because they were either different versions, the MD5 did not match or even "can't find pkg". i have to use the local library to download the packages because i dont have an internet connection at home.

I have a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10 karmic, but apt-get update gives error messages "Failed to fetch....; Could not resolve..." for all the packages in the sources.list file.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a possibility to configure yum in such way that it would download and install packages at the same time?What i mean is that after downloading certain package it continues to download the next one but at the same time it is installing the one it has already downloaded? Is it possible in fedora? I remeber back when i was using openSUSE 11.2 that the behaviour of the installer was configurable and would let users to choose if they want to download all packages first and then install them or download a package, keep downloading next ones but install the already downloaded ones .

PS I'm not necessarily looking for a specific version, but I'm currently running 9.10 on one machine and 10.04 (soon to be 10.10) on another. A guide for any Ubuntu distro would be fine though. I'm just as interested in learning the theory of it as I am the actual execution.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running a Knoppix Live CD, and I want to install ClamAV. What I'd really like is to download all the relevant packages and save them onto a USB pen, and then I can install it easily whenever I run the Live CD anywhere and update the definitions at my leisure without having to connect to the internet or go through remodelling Knoppix. I'm not entirely sure how to do this though, mainly because of dependencies. I would think it would be along the lines of cd'ing to the usb and running:
Code:
apt-get -d build-dep clamav-base
apt-get -d build-dep clamav
and then to install use dpkg, but I'm not sure how to get it to look for the dependencies in the same place:
Code:
dpkg -i clamav-base
dpkg -i clamav
I'm just about to go and try it, but I thought I'd ask first to get the wisdom , but also to see if anyone else does something similar and whether they think this is a good way to achieve the goal, regardless of whether this technically works.
Right now I am using UBUNTU Hardy Haron. I just moved from windows to linux. It is very easy to install any games or software in windows. Just double click exe, next - next and finish. I want to install some mario games in my pc (ubuntu). I have downloaded tar.bz2 of it. Extracted it and configure and install-sh both are there. I already tried by ./configure. It requires g++, cpp several packages. Now my question comes. What are those packages? How to find out them? How to install them? Is there any other easy way for installation? What are different type of compilers over here?
