I have installed Linux RPMs before, so I doubt this is due to syntax errors...
Ok, I installed RedHat 8.0 on my computer the other day, and I selected "All Packages." This is because previous installations resulted in having to go back and basically install Linux manually via the command line. So just to be safe, I installed everything, and put up with the two hour install time.
Anyway, this is my problem. Whenever I begin to install an RPM, be it in GNOME or the terminal, I get a blank line. IE:
[root@localhost Ebon]# rpm -i alsa-driver*
And nothing it happens. It just freezes. Ctrl-c does not stop it as it should either. Installing in gnome seems to have the same effect. I right click the rpm, open with->install packages. Nothing, almost as if I never ran it to begin with.
Could somebody please tell me whats going on?
