[K12OSN] Conflicts installing webmin

[Brian Chase]

You should be alright with just getting the RPM from the webmin site and 
installing it normally by issuing the following command:

    root#>    rpm -Uvh webmin<vers>.rpm


This installs the latest version and works well with K12LTSP 4.0.1.  
This is the way I did it and everything works fine on my box, perhaps 
the script is buggy.

Come to think of it, if you're launching the script as a non-root user 
account, that may also be the reason.  One other thing you might try 
first is log into the machine graphically as root user and double-click 
on the icon that runs the script.  That could be your problem also 
because a normal user doesn't have administrator priveledges and is not 
allowed to install webmin.

If you're setting up K12LTSP for the first time, I'd make sure you log 
in as root at least once in the beginning and run all those scripts.  
There's also a neat tool to push standard icons that you select out to 
all the users for programs not in the default menu.  It's a great tool 
to alter the default appearance of the desktop.

If that doesn't work, I'd try posting more detailed error information on 
this thread and we can look deeper.

Cheers,

BC
