[UCLA-LUG] rpms are being funky again

[thefonz]

Hey,

Figured Id post this,
I found that when you are using RPM and you -q (query) or -e
(uninstall/erase) you dont use the full package file name (IE
socks5-server-1.0r4-1.i386.rpm) but instead you would do "rpm -q
socks5-server-1.0r4-1"

-Ilan

PS I got socks working too... I think this will fix all my ICQ file transfer
issues.
