I can not install .pkg in my Raq2 server (RaQ2-All-CMU-2.27.pkg ), I don't know why.

So I want install it via RPM files
I see 4 files from RaQ2-All-CMU-2.27.pkg :
perl-Compress-Zlib-1.11-1.mipse (28 kb)
perl-MIME-Base64-2.11-1.mips.rp (16 kb)
perl-XML-Parser-2.29-2.mips.rpm (248 kb)
RaQ2-cmu-2.27-0.noarch.rpm (68 kb)

How about Telnet command to install .RPM files? Please..
Where directory must I install this files?

Thanks

RPMs are very easy to install and they are "self install" but i think they need to have a .rpm ending

to install one

rpm -Uvh file.rpm

Thanks to Alaskan Wolf,

I see there are 4 files :

1. perl-Compress-Zlib-1.11-1.mipse (28 kb)
2. perl-MIME-Base64-2.11-1.mips.rp (16 kb)
3. perl-XML-Parser-2.29-2.mips.rpm (248 kb)
4. RaQ2-cmu-2.27-0.noarch.rpm (68 kb)

number 3 & 4 must install? or number 3 only?

Thanks

its been a long time since i was on a raq2, i would post your question in the cobalt forum and see what they say about the other 2 files that are not .rpm's
