to install local packages you would have to use dpkg in a debian-based system.<br><br>

<br>><br>> The other approach, which I frankly prefer, is RPMing jre from<br>> <a href="http://java.com">java.com</a>. Can you say RPM hell? (Can I somehow use yum to install<br>> local RPMs?)<br>><br>> (Actually, the approach I really prefer is the one that works. RPMing

<br>><br>> I'm not necessarily looking for THE answer. A hint will do. In fact,<br>> it has more potential to teach me. I've come to a dead end, it seems,<br>> one which Google doesn't seem to be able to resolve. Any bone thrown
<br>> my way will be much appreciated, and I will happily share the solution<br>> when (and not, I confidently aver, if) I figure it out, once I pause<br>> dancing around the floor like Homer Simpson when he found out he

http://www.nflug.org/mailman/listinfo/nflug</a><br>><br>I think apt-get totally kicks yum's butt however yum does have a handy<br>option that I have not found a similar option in apt-get and that is to<br>use it against a local package. "yum localinstall packagename" will do
<br>what you want and get whatever the requirements are the package depends<br>on. I have never tried it but I would imagine apt-get would work the<br>same way as long as you put the *.deb (or rpm for that matter) in the<br>
local archive so it could find it, just might work. However, with yum's<br>localinstall option, you simple need the path to the local file.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>nflug mailing list<br><a href="mailto:nflug@nflug.org">
