Ray,
What architecture do you have? What kind of
processor is in your system? If you don't have
an i686 or better, then you shouldn't install the
i686 packages. If you *do* have an i686 or
better processor, then why is rpm complaining?
Perhaps there is a setting in a configuration
file somewhere?
Why did you use the "--root" option to rpm? You
made it look for the rpm repository in a
non-existant directory (/dev/hd/...). Just do
rpm -ivh --force pkg.rpm

Sorry, I wasn't quite clear in my original post.
The Lorma Linux packages are
mostly i386 but glibc, openssl, the kernel and
some other packages (including
the XFree86 packages) are i686. so updating the
package lists is a tad more
complicated than search and replace.
What I see as a problem is that manually
installing an i686 package in the
system fails with a "Wrong architecture" message.
Can I just force rpm to
install it, regardless? Hmm, why don't I try?
Well, I just tried
rpm -i XFree86-4.3.0-2.i686.rpm --root
/dev/hd --force
and I got
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -
No such file or directory
(2)
error: cannot open Packages database in
/dev/hd/var/lib/rpm
I can try again after booting into the installed
Red Hat 9 system.
Thanks a zillion,
Ray
