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. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
