hey,
ive downloaded ximian gnome 1.4 onto a cd, and i am installing it locally. I am running RedHat Linux 7.1. During the installation i get errors in the terminal window saying something like "error: unable to recursively delete directory, contains files", or something like that. how do i configure the program to, or system to allow the files to be deleted recursively automatically in the installation. I 've givven the installation full rwx permissions, and all the packages. and ive configured the system for "Dont confirm deltion of files". so, any1 know how i can install the ximian gnome 1.4, and delete the old packages at the same time. without me having to do it manually after (preferibly)
 
Try posting this in the Linux(client/desktop) forum. CaKiwi
