Hmm. I believe that you want the rpm without the .src in it. I'm a relative newbie too, but I think you should be fine with just rpm -i, although I tend to use rpm -ivh because you get a little graph of progress. I don't actually know which way is better. ;)
But yea, download the rpm. The .src is for building it from source? Although I don't know how to do that. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chris Montgomery Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 12:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Installing RPM for Grub Newbie alert..... Howdy, I have RH7.1 installed from the box CDs. Installing grub wasn't an option with this distro so I want to install it now to dual-boot with Win2k. I wasn't able to find the grub rpm file using up2date, but I did locate it under the Rawhide ftp directory at Red Hat's ftp site. Anyway, I downloaded the grub rpm file to my home directory and have been trying to install it from there but can't. Typing "rpm -i grub-0.90-11.src.rpm" at the command line throws an error that it can't be installed. Do I need to do this from another directory than home? Also, I've noticed that there are two types of rpm files..... one that contains ".src" and one that doesn't (e.g., grub-0.90-11.src.rpm and grub-0.90-11.rpm). Which one should I be installing?
