Josh,
Once you get used to the Planet flow it's very straight forward. I do not
use the CDROM, but update from their site online. Do the same if you have a
fast connection. It works for Redhat 7.2, 7.3 (my distro) and 8.0. The
kernel is 2.4.19 with patches.
Once you follow the instructions and get to where you are running their
kernel, all you do is:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
this will bring your machine up to date for all RPMs you have installed.
Using Synaptic you can look at all of Fernando's database of apps. The music
apps are listed at:
http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/packages.html
to install pretty much any app by hand is
apt-get install package_name
or you can do it with Synaptic itself.
I hope you enjoy the Planet. It has been a wonderful resource for me.
Cheers,
Mark

I've just downloaded the planet ccrma materials and I will be installing
them over the weekend. I'm curious about the applications
contained in the
package:
1. Is there a way to just install everything in one swoop, or do
I have to
rpm -Uvh xxx.rpm every time on all packages?
2. What about packages (movie and sound players come to mind)
that already
exist in some form in a standard RH 8.0 install? Will installing
over them
confuse the situation?
3. I'm doing this on a Dell Laptop. Am I doomed to failure?
Thanks,
Josh Lawrence
