The Inperfect Setup for me - Fedora Core 4.

[dstme]

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!

For me it looks like the rpm package was corrupted during download. Have you executed the command as root user?

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

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:

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.

Thanks. I have started but it has stuck in 2% for almost 15mins. Does it takes long time to download. I'm using 512k broadband.

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?

No, only replace yourrootsqlpassword. If your password is secret, then the command would be

mysqladmin -u root password secret

Thanks falko, I have error: Can you help, please.
