We're new to Linux, have bought a Cobalt RaQ3i with Redhat 6.x on it.
1. We want to load Oracle on the server, for which we need an x-window
program. We thought we'd try VNC.
2. When attempting to run VNC after installation, we found we don't have the
required Xauth installed. Found Xauth rpm at RedHat.
3. On trying the rpm for Xauth, it advised that a later copy of RPM itself
was required (we have rpm-3.0.2-6.0). Found upgrade at RedHat.
4. When trying to install rpm-3.0.5-9.6x.i386.rpm, it advised that a later
copy of Bzip was required (ours is bzip2-0.9.0c-1). Found upgrade at RedHat.
5. When trying to install bzip2-1.0.1-3.i386.rpm, it advised that a later
copy of RPM was required !!!
We're stuck with (4) and (5) chasing each other's tails, when all we really
wanted to do was install Oracle. <groan>
If anyone could suggest a path of action for us, we'd really appreciate it!
