Loose the '2' from the name.

Old documentation that doesn't know cpanspec yet?

$ yum search cpan spec
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
=========================== N/S matched: cpan, spec ============================
cpanspec.noarch : RPM spec file generation utility

 Full name and summary matches only, use "search all" for everything.

$ repoquery --whatprovides /usr/bin/cpan2spec
$

Best answer

They were probably thinking of cpan2rpm. This project has been dormant for quite some time and no longer compiles/works in the current perl environment.

Flash plugin RPM installed but not being used by Firefix in fedora

I've followed the instructions to install the flash plugin by downloading the
YUM version and then installing the RPM. I got no errors when doing any of
this. However, flash still does not work in Firefox. If I do 'about:plugins'
it isn't listed.

Any suggestions on what to try next. All I'm getting from Google is variations
of the same instructions I've already done.

F18: Create a USB install of CentOS 6 from iso

On a F18, I installed livecd-tools-18.15-1

I downloaded CenOS6.x minimal .iso and with livecd-iso-to-disk the resulting USB is never bootable: the computer doesnt boot on it. Tested on many computers.

The fact is I succeded to install CentOS on a Netbook (no CD/DVD tray), but I dont remember how I invoked livecd-iso-to-disk.

I tried with many combinations (/dev/sdc is the USB pendrive):

$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --force  /dev/sdc

$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --force  /dev/sdc1

- Format with VFAT on partiion #1 then
$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk  /dev/sdc1

- Format with Ext on partiion #1 then
$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk  /dev/sdc1

...

I don't remember what I tried, but it was many, mostly tried with CentOS 6.2

Please, if someone has a F18 + an USB drive: would you test and see if you succeed? If you ever succeed, how did you?

How to install compiler package on Fedora 26?

Installed Fedora 26 on recommendation of a Scribus developer. Installed about 30 packages per his advice.

But when I try to compile a program the machine can't find C++. So what is the package I need to install to compile C++ programs?.

Another question. On Slackware (yes I am one of those) I can use kdm to get to a window function ( I preferXFCE). How do I set up a window manager in Fedora and how do I access it?

yum configure to only download one package at a time in Fedora?

I am trying to upgrade my system and through our corporate firewall/network filters/etc, the bandwidth is limited. Today while doing an upgrade, yum was downloading five packages at a time.

Due to the limits, I was running into a under X bytes for 60 seconds restart.

The limit is such that when there are large packages (eclipse) it gets stuck restarting each package over and over until it has run out of mirrors.

I read through the yum.conf man and I cannot find a way to tell yum to only download a single package.

This is on a f20 system and I am trying to get to F23 but I cannot get fedup on f20 to work through our corporate firewall and dnf won't play.

fedora-upgrade is the command that I am using.
