Hi,
Questions for the Red Hat folks and others.
My local reseller (cyberspace-wise) is EverythingLinux.com.au. They are selling
Red Hat 7.3 Personal Edition as a "pocket book edition " for only $32.95 AUD.
Apparently Red Hat Asia Pacific is the publisher and it seems to be an official
copy, just in a handy form factor I haven 't see anywhere else (and it beats
the listed US price). Can anyone comment on this product?
It comes (I have confirmed) with 30 days RHN trial. Is it trivial (once the
trial has expired) to fall back on the free entitlement? I am really only interested
in purchasing to support the work that Red Hat is doing, and would probably
like to register officially (since I have paid to do so) but hope I can fall
back smoothly.
Lastly (and I appologise for not researching further than the man pages - feeling
lazy), can up2date be pointed to a CD somehow? I know it has no "sources " to
speak of, but is there a mode? My intention (because I like bare minimalism)
is to install a minimal install, and I was hoping I could do stuff like:
[mymachine]# up2date --from-cd gnome-base
And have it give me X and libs etc, but a very minimal Gnome that I could add
to:
[mymachine]# up2date --from-cd galeon
[mymachine]# up2date --from-cd evolution
Etc. Maybe I need to copy the RPMs to my hard disk to the place where downloaded
packages normally go or something.
Thanks
Evan.
And have all the dependencies
