Installing Yum
You're rather tired of getting sucked into RPM-dependency hell, and you're ready to let the computer do the work.
Use Yum, the Yellow Dog Updater, Modified.
Yum is standard on Fedora; on other systems you may need to install it:
# rpm -ivh yum-2.0.4-1.noarch.rpm
Next, download the appropriate GPG keys. This key is for downloads from the Fedora project:
# rpm —import http://www.fedora.us/FEDORA-GPG-KEY
You'll find more keys in the download directories, such as http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/. You'll need keys from all the repositories you configure Yum to use. Add this line to /etc/yum.conf to make Yum automatically check the keys:
gpgcheck=1
Now you can install a new program:
# yum install tuxpaint
Your first Yum download will take as long as 30 minutes, because it will download package lists:
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Linux / stable for Red Hat Linux 9 (i386)
Server: Red Hat Linux 9 (i386)
Server: Red Hat Linux 9 (i386) updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
getting /var/cache/yum/fedora-stable/headers/leafnode-0-1.9.43-0.fdr.1.rh90.i386.hdr
getting /var/cache/yum/fedora-stable/headers/libzvt-devel-0-2.0.1-0.fdr.5.rh90.i386.hdr
...
Dependencies resolved
I will do the following:
[install: tuxpaint-2002.10.20-1.i386.rpm]
Is this ok [y/N]:
Say yes, and you're finished.
