Just trying RedHat9. I''d like to install some packages. I select from System Setting -> Add/Remove Application. It asks for CD. How do I change to use FTP as install source? Another Q: I downloaded a package from somewhere. It has some dependecies and it just prints them out. But how do I make it download all dependencies from the install source automatically? Imho it is stupid if I need manually to install everything in the dependency hierarchy.. Thanks!

As far as I''ve always understood it, RPMs don''t really ever do that. That''s why they''re referred to as having "dependency hell."
