Help needed with LinuxConf reinstall

[David Rix <sydneybiz optushome com au>]

Hi,

I  am having trouble with this.

There seems to already be a linuxconf file 1.27 or similar name I think 
that came with RH8 altho not listed anywhere. A message came up to that 
effect when I first tried to install the gnome package below first.

I downloaded the two newer files from their site are..

linuxconf-1.30r3-1.i386.rpm
gnome-linuxconf-0.65-1.i386.rpm

and I saved the gpg key to my HD

The correct sequence evidently is..

download files from site
save public key to HD
import public key
install package linuxconf-1 etc
install package gnome-linuxetc

However,

I goofed up and didn't import the key first. This I think locks the 
program from working - maybe I'm wrong there altho' it doesn't work!

I imported the key AFTER I installedthe progs.

I did see the Linuxconf name in the Extras/System Settings/ menu without 
an icon but when clicked did zip.

I then tried to uninstall both of the rpm's but they wouldn't delete.

When I went to reinstall them, it said they were there.

I used rpm -ev thefullname with the 386.rpm

Summary is.. I guess I need to..

1. Uninstall both new rpms
2. Import gpg  key
3. Install new linuxconf-1
4. Install gnome-linuxconf

Any help by one who really knows would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave
