| + | |||
| + | The Amazon AMI (I'm working with) repos.d looks like: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <pre> | ||
| + | $ ls /etc/yum.repos.d | ||
| + | amzn-main.repo amzn-nosrc.repo.rpmsave amzn-updates.repo epel.repo | ||
| + | amzn-main.repo.rpmsave amzn-preview.repo amzn-updates.repo.rpmsave epel-testing.repo | ||
| + | amzn-nosrc.repo amzn-preview.repo.rpmsave | ||
| + | </pre> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now we do the install from the RPM (makes it easier to remove later ?) | ||
| + | |||
| + | <pre> | ||
| + | bash-4.1$ pwd | ||
| + | /users/username/CentOS | ||
| + | bash-4.1$ rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.*.rpm | ||
| + | error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Permission denied) | ||
| + | bash-4.1$ sudo rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.*.rpm | ||
| + | bash-4.1$ # no response is a good response... | ||
| + | bash-4.1$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d | ||

| + | iperf - installed | ||
| + | jperf - not there | ||
| + | htop - installed | ||

| + | After done, save repos file from /etc/yum.repos.d to home directory to prevent "bad things from happening in the interregnum". | ||
