Hello,
I've looked through the manuals and not found the answer as well as
this newsgroup and found different answers. I'm new (day two) to Red
Hat version 2.4.18.4 (I believe - no access right now) and want to
install a few tools and am not sure which directory to download the
installation .gz to so that it installs correctly.
I think the best place would be /tmp but do not want it to run from /
tmp/x.
What is the best place to download and then install new applications
from?
Kim
I use to download files to /usr/install
On some systems this is a complete file system on a separated disk
( or partion ) on other it's imply a directory. Where it's a separate
disk or partition, /usr/install is a link to the mount point.
One downloaded I use to compile and install ( make, make install )
after specifiing during the configure, where the binaries should be
installed ( /usr/local ? or anywere I find convenient. ) *.rpm are
installing automatically where supposed to be ?
Having every download an installation done from /usr/install allow
that file are only downloaded once, we know for sure where they are
what can be removed, compressed etc.
Kind regards
Zoot
