Yes, I know, you've all been there. Dumb and dumber, having had your wits dulled by years of MS ease-of-use.

Today's moronic question - when installing RH 7.1, I forgot to install some things. How do I install other stuff that I didn't put in the first time?

Best regards

Use the redhat package manager (RPM). Or better yet, switch to Debian. haha. ;-)

You should be able to find these programs on the Red Hat CD in RPM format. Navigate the CD at a shell and install RPMs (as root) with:

rpm -Uvh filename.rpm

You can also navigate the CD with a graphical program (like konqueror or the GNOME file manager) and install RPMs just by clicking on them.
