Is it possible say, to install certain packages with an install type program
like when doing a new install, w/o booting from the boot disk and such to
install only Xfree, etc on a redhat 4.0 system w/o screwing anything up?
I would assume it would be possible, I just don't want to manually grab each
and every RPM, and then have to install one by one, find dependecies, and
things. I'm still waiting to get my Redhat 4 cd, so I'm stuck to ftp or
nfs at the moment, as I didn't grab the rpm's off any archives, but just
installed them.
