Dear NetBSD,
I am trying to run the Rivendell Radio Station
Automation and associated rpm's on NetBSD because
I LIKE NETBSD!
In the documentation for installation it says that I
need to verify that the following packages from the
SuSE CDROM are already installed:
cdparanoia
qt3
qt3-mysql
mysql
mysql-shared
sox
Do I need to still install these if I install the
regular NetBSD built packages or will the Linux
emulator automatically be able to locate the
packages built for NetBSD?
Finally,
I have read through the Linux emulation docs
for NetBSD, but, with only the example given for the
Acrobat Reader (Linux version) I am still unclear on
how to install rpm packages correctly in the /emul/Linux.
Do I use "rpm" or "rpm2pkg" to do this? Sorry for
so many questions.
Thanks for any help you can give.
