Message-ID: <200301030832.24656.genright@paradise.net.nz> (raw)
Im using Mandrake 9. Have been playing with rpm and urpmi a bit.
It would seem that most RPM files have a little description of their contents
in each. is there an option or method to read these descriptions from the
console. I've had a look thru the man pages and am just getting more
confused.
