2.15.1 ProblemYou need to know how to install packages, how to upgrade packages, and how to do system upgrades. 2.15.2 SolutionFirst, update your package list: # yum check-update To install a new package, use: # yum -y install tuxkart The -y flag allows unattended installation, by answering yes to all questions. To update a single package, use: # yum update gltron To update several packages, use: # yum update gltron ktron tuxracer To update all installed packages, use: # yum update To search for a package to install, use: # yum search quake Now say you need a particular library, but you don't know what package provides it. Yum will find it: # yum provides libc6.1-1.so.2 2.15.3 DiscussionOne of the nicest features of Yum is that you can add it to an existing system. It reads the existing RPM database and creates a new package list, so you can use it right away without missing anything. 2.15.4 See Also
