Hi,

I have installed Red Hat 7
and have downloaded a lot of RPMs from the red hat sites.
Do anyone know if I install or upgrade the RPMs,
will the RPM be automatically checked if it is specified
for the Red Hat 7, not the othe OS like Red Hat 6.2?

I don't think rpm checks for distribution per se. I
do know it checks for libc versions tho. If you installed
the compat rpms, you should be able to install RH6.x rpms
which I think you do not want. Therefore when downloading
from RH, make sure you download rpms for RH7.x.

1. Red Hat 7.1 - Installing Red Hat packages after Red Hat is already installed.

How can I install packages that I forgot to install with the Red Hat
7.1 installation?

Here's my problem:
Various pieces of Red Hat keep saying that I am missing a file and
that it needs to be installed with a certain package (namely most of
the Kontrol Panel).  But I have been unsuccessful at finding where
this is done.  I am still a newbie with Linux, but I would assume that
there should be an "Add/Remove Programs" equivalent with Linux.

Please help!
