Help for install software on PCLinuxOS 2007 ?

[nguyenntt]

Dear, All PCLinux Friends

I'm Nguyen from Vietnam.I'm a beginer for Linux. I have some
problem, I hope someone can help me.

1. How to change "Computer Name", "Workgroup" and
"NetBIOS" like we do on Windows?

I don't know why my
Username in console is [nguyenntt@conghn ~]$ and root is [root@conghn nguyenntt]# CONGHN is the computer
name of my staff.

Username: nguyenntt
Hostname: conghn.ampc.vn
I want to edit my host name to nguyenntt.ampc.vn

2. I try to install XVNKB ( Vietnamese Keyboard ), but
its appear error below:

> [nguyenntt@conghn ~]$ su
Password:
[root@conghn nguyenntt]# cd /home/nguyenntt
[root@conghn nguyenntt]# rpm -ivh
xvnkb-0.2.9-2.i386.rpm
error: cannot get shared lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -
Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
[root@conghn nguyenntt]#

3. On Ubutu, we can install or remove soft by command
line "sudo apt-get install axel". Its will automatic
install. But I dont know how to do this on PClinuxOS ?

I hope I don't take more time of you. Please help me.
And after, I'm sorry for my English skill.

Thanks!
Nguyen Tran The Nguyen

I want to edit my host name to nguyenntt.ampc.vn[/COLOR][/B]I'm not completely sure how to do this on PCLinuxOS, but we can try to figure it out. Is there a file /etc/hostname; if so, what's in it? What's the output of ls -l /etc/init.d and ls -l /etc/sysconfig?

[root@conghn nguyenntt]#It seems there's another rpm process running. Have you tried to reboot the system?

It should work the same way because PCLinuxOS uses apt as well.
