2 Questions on Fedora

agee220 · 07-04-2004, 07:07 AM

1) I need to find the utility sfdisk to resolve my dual boot issue, but I can't sem to find it. Google points to a lot of articles on how to use it, but not the program itself.
2) What I've read leads me to believe that an rpm package should install from the desktop by clicking on it (GNOME) , but when I do, it just asks me for a file association to run it, what should I use as an association? Thanx for any help. Nyah Levi

for number 2

right click on rpm and go to Open With > Other Application

in the window that opens up look for Install RPM package and make it the default action for
RPM's.

Don't know about number 1

sfdisk is a command for linux console. It is not a GUI program. To use it, open a console as root and type it

you can install an rpm in the same console by typing:

rpm -ivh xxxxxxxxxxxxx.rpm

Thanks for the response,. My problem with sfdisk is that when I try to access it onthe command line as root, it is not found. Nyah Levi
