Your HP XC system is installed with the software that is most appropriate for a high-performance cluster computer. Software that is more appropriate for a Linux workstation or time-sharing computer, such as much of the KDE and Gnome functionality, various Web browsers, games, and so on, is available on the HP XC distribution DVD.
To install additional Linux RPMs from the installation DVD, you must mount the DVD and navigate to the directory containing the RPMs.
Follow this procedure to install additional RPMs:
Insert the installation DVD into the DVD drive and mount it on the default location (the default location is the /mnt/cdrom directory):
Change to the following directory:
# cd /mnt/cdrom/LNXHPC/RPMS |
Find the Linux RPM you want to install and issue the appropriate command to install it. For example, issue a command similar to the following:
# rpm -ivh kde-i18n-French-3.1.3-1.noarch.rpm |
