10.3 Configuration

Configuration

The only configuration information glint needs is the path to new RPMs. When you're using your Red Hat Linux CD-ROM, this will probably be
/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS, which is the default path for glint. If you download new RPMs from the Internet or want to install RPMs via a NFS mounted CD-ROM this path will probably be different for you.

Figure 72: Configuration Window

To change this path, first be sure to close all of the windows listing available packages you may have open. Then choose the Configuration option from one of the remaining windows. This will open a dialog box like the one shown in figure 72. Here you can type the full path to the RPMs you'd like to look at. Choosing the Save button will save this path, making it the default for future glint sessions. The Default button restores the path to the one that glint used when it started.

After changing this path and closing the dialog box, you can use the Available button to view the packages available in the new location.
