Updating Packages / Libraries on RedHat
Posted: Sat May 15, 2004 6:16 pm
One of the reasons I don't use linux more is because everytime a try to download new software I find out I have older libs, etc. on my system and then it takes me a few days to find and install the new libs only to find out that I have eight more things that need to be updated before I can install the new software.
Now, the reason it may be so hard for me is because I'm a linux n00b, but I'm wondering if there is a way you can update all (or a majority) of the packages / libs that you have installed without doing each one individually?
Do the other RedHat distros allow you to do this? Or do any of the linux distros let you do this?
If what i'm saying is inaccurate or I used some incorrect terminology please let me know so I don't make a fool out of myself next time I post somewhere
Thanks for any and all help provided.
