Hi people,
I have a question about the installation of software. I'm running RH6.* and
so far using rpm to install software ... rpm -ivh <package>.rpm as root.
However /usr is becoming full (97%) whereas /usr/local is empty so
obviously this is a problem. I'm pretty new to Linux so be gentle.
So my question is: What should my general strategy for installing new
software ???
I'm a little confused :-)
