Re: need help on CHIP CD 2



Hi abhishek,

I think what you need to do to install the file is this:

most of the software which will be there on linux cd will be a rpm file .. i
mean *.rpm ..
to install a rpm file you need to first mount the cdrom in /mnt/cdrom and
then go to the dir which has the rpm files and type  rpm -i filename.rpm ..
and it will install it for you ... there are more options for the rpm
command in case you are trying to upgrade a software which is on you machine
...!!! try man rpm and you can find more about it..

bye
