Wooohooo!! All sorted now, got my NTFS volumes mounted, got all my Nforce hardware installed aswel.
Guess I should have actually tried double clicking on an RPM before asking what to do with them here
Only snag I had was installing the RPM for my Nforce Hardware, I had to download the source and recompile the drivers into a correct RPM version for my Kernel wich is a hell of a lot easier than it sounds, it was things like what I just said that put me off using Linux for so long.
I am typing this from Linux right now
, I know its no big deal to most people but its a biggy to me
Just have two more questions......
If I upgrade the Kernel will I have to get newer versions of the RPMs I have installed?? or will they be automatically updated??
How difficult is it to upgrade the kernel?? im using RedHat 9.0 2.4.20-8
