I have installations of Fedora Core 6 and CentOS 5.0 (two very similar
distros, both using the 2.6.18 kernel) on two different machines (one is
32 bit, the other is 64 bit), and I have the same problem with the
add/remove software update utility (Pirut) on both of them: when I
click on it, I get a message saying "Unable to retrieve software
information. This could be caused by not having a network connection
available." This same behavior happens with both distros on both
machines (the 64 bit one is brand new, with fairly up to date hardware,
while the 32 bit is a P3 class machine). Any ideas or hints?
For the RedHat distros, updating/removing is done with the rpm command or with
one of the many front ends.
rpm -Uvh <rpm package filename>
rpm -evh <rpm package name>
The front end you have selected require by default that you are connected to
internet when you try to use it. If you aren't you get the message you typed.
If you want to use pirut disconnected, visit the following site/page:
