YDL Install Problems

[William Thomas]

for the record..a nd i may be stating the obvious but i will send it anyway 
as this is the newb group.. you can just thro wan su in front of a command

"su yum list"
then enter password



>I use yum at the command line so here's how: first connect to the net, then 
>open a shell window and type "su" (ignore all quotes), hit enter and type 
>the root password, hit enter and then type "yum check-update" and enter. 
>This will take awhile as it download a bunch of header files. When it is 
>finished, type "yum update" and enter. This will take even longer as it 
>updates any packages installed on your machine that have newer ones 
>available. Okay, when that is done, type "yum install openoffice" and 
>enter. This should download and install openoffice and you should be good 
>to go.

>While it may not be quite as easy as Mac software installs, yum is an 
>excellent tool. Try it out.
