installing webmin

[craigad]

ok real newbie question folks..............

i want to install webmin onto a mandrake 9 server i am ~trying~ to build and want to know whether to install the src.rpm or the noarch.rpm.

ta, Craig

With the src.rpm, you first need to rebuild into a binary rpm package using

rpm --rebuild packagename.src.rpm

and then install the resulting package from /usr/src/<your distro>/RPMS/noarch

OR

just install the binary noarch.rpm using

rpm -Uvh packagename.noarch.rpm
