Installing Additional Packages

If there's a package you would like to use but failed to install initially, the situation is easy to remedy. Just NFS-mount sipb-nfs by typing mount sipb-nfs:/redhat /sipb-nfs/redhat as root and run glint. When glint starts, click on ``Configure,'' enter /sipb-nfs/redhat/4.0.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS, and click on ``Save.'' If you then click on ``Available,'' glint will allow you to select more packages to install. If you are unsure whether a package is already installed, glint will tell you. (Installed packages are listed in the first window glint shows.) Another way to determine which packages are installed is to type rpm -qa. (This will produce a long list, so you'll probably want to save it to a file.)
