Re: [Planetlab-users] less, man, gzip, and rpmbuild

[Aaron K. <al...@CS...>]

Well, gzip really should be there, I'm a bit surprised we didn't catch it (the 
proposed rpm list was sent out for review by all).

If you have a mirror for the RPMs, then use either curl or wget (both in the 
image), to save it somewhere before installing it. Might want to check out 
YUM too (http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/). There should be some slice 
provisioning services coming along as well.
