I have a few package installation related questions concerning RPM, YUM and CentOS and getting GCC installed:
I've mounted my distribution media on my CentOS 5.2 machine but I can't seem to work out how to point RPM at the media and use that instead of looking to the internet. All the examples I've googled for appear to assume downloading the RPM's from the internet.
What does the
-ivh
switch combo do (I'm guessing -i is for install)? I didman rpm
but the switch count and combinations blew my mind.Should I be using YUM instead of RPM?
