Section 26.1:Starting Gnome-RPM
If you would like to install, upgrade or uninstall packages, you must be root.
The easiest way to become root is to type the su command and
shell prompt. Then type the root password. However, you do not have to be
root to query and verify packages.
The Gnome-RPM interface consists of the following:
• Package Display — on the left; allows you to browse and select packages on your system
• Display window — to the right of the package panel; shows you contents from folders in the panel
• Toolbar — above the display and panel; a graphical display of package tools
• Menu — above the toolbar; contains text-based commands, as well as help info, preferences and
other settings
• Status bar — beneath the panel and display windows; shows the total number of selected packages
