Hey listers,
I hope that you can all bear with me, I am very new to linux (installed
5.1 last week) and I need help with an item that was just addressed a
few days ago. I quote a piece of it below:
>1. How do I successfully update Communicator 4.07 to 4.5?
> Note where netscape is on your path:
> $ which netscape
> # rpm -Uvh netscape-common-4.50-1.i386.rpm
> netscape-communicator-4.50-1.i386.rpm
> Get these from a nearby mirror: http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html

My question is threefold. When I look at
ftp://contrib.redhat.com/libc6/i386 I see that
there are 3 netscape rpms there, netscape-common,
netscape-communicator(which I have already downloaded) and
netscape-navigator. Do I need one of these three, or a combination ?
I see that I need to use the "rpm" command with -Uvh and use it in the
directory(?) that the old netscape is in, but when I use "find" I notice
that netscape-communicator is in both /usr/bin and /usr/lib and I don't
know which directory to use the rpm -Uvh in.
Also, in the post that I quoted the author mentions "$ which
netscape"... what is that for ?
Thank you in advance,
-Tom
btw, I have been reading this newsgroup for about 2 months now to help
me get a feel for
RedHat linux and the community that uses it. I have been impressed with
the amount of information that gets passed amongst the members here and
decided to use RH5.1 as a place to begin. Thankyou for all the good info
and I look forward to much, much more 8-)
