Hello:

I am new to the Linux world and I am staring to get my feet wet with OS. I have the RH 4 WS disks and would like to load the gcc compiler but can't seem to figure out how to located the correct rpm. Does anyone know which disk is it on or how to go about locating it?

The package name is : gcc-3.4.6-3.i386.rpm (depend on version and platform)
Just use up2date:

up2date -i gcc

Unfortuneately system I am building is on a network without internet access. I do have the Linux RH WS 4 install disks that came with the system and according to the info Redhars website the disks contain gcc and other development tools. However I can't figure out which disk to use. Is there a way in Linux to install an OS bundled application after the intitial install? I know this sounds very windows like but that is what I am used to developing in. This Linux world is new and exciting....

If you install systesm from beginning after partitioning, networking, accounts ... there is option for package selection. You may choose what to be installed on system and the part you are looking for is "development tools".

If your system is already installed use package management tool - http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/ch-graphical-rpm.html
