RPM’s on Red Hat 5 and “yum”

RPM on Reh Hat Linux seems like a good solution, but sometimes it just gives you headakes and nothing else.

Here are few good comand samples to use with RPM’s:

To list all installed modules with “mysql-” name:

rpm -qa | grep -i ‘^mysql-‘

Forced Update:


rpm -Uhv --force MySQL-server-community-5.1.34-0.rhel5.i386.rpm

And one more thing… don’t forget nice command called: YUM

yum upgrade mysql-server

yum install ***

yum erase ***

That’s all for today 🙂
