software you want, simply click the link to begin downloading the software to your computer. Tip A great way to find software packages that are part of the Red Hat Linux distribution or the former Red Hat Linux PowerTools is the rpmfind command. Using rpmfind, you can locate Linux software packages in RPM format and download them. The rpmfind command is described later in this chapter. Downloading Linux software You can download Linux software from the Internet using a Web browser (such as Netscape Navigator) or an FTP program (such as the ftp command). The browser often enables you to view the contents of an FTP site through a Web interface (look for an index.html file in an FTP directory). The FTP command has more options, but is less intuitive. There are also GUI-based FTP applications, such as gFTP, to make FTP services easier to use. (The gFTP command is described in Chapter 20.) Note The following procedures assume that you have a connection to the Internet. Downloading with Netscape To download a Linux software package from the Internet using Netscape Navigator, follow this procedure: 1. From the desktop, start Netscape Navigator. 2. Type the name of an FTP site that has Linux software in the location box and press Enter. For example, try ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps. 3. To move around the FTP site, click Up to Higher Level Directory to move up, or click on a directory to move down. 4. When you find a package that you want to install, position the cursor over it, click the right mouse button, and then select Save Link As. 5. In the Save As box, into the Selection box, type the location (such as /tmp/abcpkg/abc.rpm) on your local system where you would like to save the package. Tip When you download software, you should place it in an empty directory with an appropriate name. Not only does this help you remember where you put the software, but it also keeps the unarchived files separate from other files. I also recommend that you not change the name of the package, so as not to lose information about the package s contents. 6. Press OK. As the package is downloaded to your computer, a dialog box displays the progress. When the download is complete, the application is ready to be uncompressed and installed. Downloading with FTP If you want to use a text-based method of downloading files (instead of Netscape), you can use the ftp command. Here s an example of an FTP procedure: 1.
