The Inperfect Setup for me - Fedora Core 4.

Hi I'm dead new to Linux, so sorry if I ask stupid questions. I did look through the forum before posting.

I tried to rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/...6.fc4.i386.rpm

But I got error message:
[root@chick ~]# rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/...6.fc4.i386.rpm
Retrieving http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/...6.fc4.i386.rpm
error: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.Xz4sXE: headerRead failed: hdr blob(42126): BAD, read returned 7736
error: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.Xz4sXE cannot be installed

Any help will much appreciated!:rolleyes:

You can try to download the package first and the install it:

Code:

wget http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/apt-0.5.15cnc7-6.fc4.i386.rpm

rpm -ivh apt-0.5.15cnc7-6.fc4.i386.rpm

Thanks for quick reply. Ya, I execute the command as root user.
Where do I download to and how then to install it (how and where?), please.

I posted it already in my post:

Code:

wget http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/apt-0.5.15cnc7-6.fc4.i386.rpm

rpm -ivh apt-0.5.15cnc7-6.fc4.i386.rpm

The wget command will download the package to your disk and the rpm command installs it.

Hi, if I may, I have another question. Right now I have restart my MySql, then as the tutorial said run mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword.

I not sure if you mean to replace "password" for my root password and "yourrootsqlpassword" for mysql password. Is this correct?:o

mysqladmin -u root password secret
