We've seen this commands lots of times. > Experienced users may know them by heart. > But Karl is learning; This thread turns into an even worse joke. So, a brief comment only. Karl has installed from Livna multiple times before by either clicking on the package at Livna's web page and installing it that way or by filling his own livna.repo file with data from other sources (he has done that and failed because of not paying attention closely enough or because of insufficient research and bad sources). Enabling and installing from Livna is a step he has done multiple times before with vlc and other packages. However, another problem has turnt up afterwards. He pointed out again and again that he doesn't know how to install the nvidia driver pkgs from Livna despite being pointed to Livna's web page, even with the direct link. Are you saying you need to read the page for him because he's unable to do it himself? > we all were newbies once and > a little clear help does not hurt anyone... Surely not. However, the question was not how to install it, but where to find the Livna documentation? He even claimed the docs would be missing. Quote: | But never found a thing on yum install. | Nothing zilch. They may not know either. This is insulting to the people at Livna. > my hands did not hurt at all > when I typed those commands. You can't be there to help him every time he refuses to read a web page that contains all the information already. It is more important to teach where to find the documentation.
