RPM-GET README
                              ==============

* Before installing you may want to edit the ftppath and updatepath 
  variables to point to any local ftp of your choice, make sure to point the
  ftppath to the/a directory that has (Mandrake) RPMS and RPMS2 directorys.
  (This is true for Mandrake 7.1, later only have an RPMS directory)
  And then point the updatepath to the update directory.
  (This is configured in /etc/rpm-get.conf.)

* This script works best for Linux Mandrake, and is by default configured
  for a Swedish ftp.

* To install, just do: ./install.sh --<distribution name>
  Currently supporeted distributions are:

	Mandrake
	RedHat

* Example of a crontab for rpm-get to auto update the computer weekley:

30 4 * * 0     rpm-get upgrade --noask 1>/dev/null 2>&1

* mklists is a little command that will auto generate the RPMS and RPMS2
  lists in /var/rpm-get/ which is handy if you chose a local ftp
  over the preconfigured one, you can set the ftp in /etc/rpm-get.conf
  (This is the same as 'rpm-get update')

* I always got so annoyed that there never was any apt-get for rpm based 
  distributions, so I coded this little script in bash, that does
  about the same basic thing as Debians apt-get.

* I know there is a port by Alfredo Kojima of apt-get to RPM, but due
  to broken dependencys in Mandrake and RedHat (atleast in the versions
  of them I've tryed), his port doesnt work to well.

* Since there havent been any serious bug reports in over a month now
  I've desided to move dist-upgrade off experimental stage, and also
  move an updated version of 0.14 to be rpm-get version 1.0 as it now
  has all the major functions of apt-get.

* rpm-get version 1.0 is the last version with S.u.S.E. support,
  Alfredo Kojimas apt-get port works for S.u.S.E. so rpm-get is
  moving on to support redhat and mandrake only.

* For more info see the Changes and the BUGS files.
