Hi ..

I have 6 proliant DL-360 and 1 DL-380 .. On those servers I have installaed Gentoo linux. Now - Gentoo don't use rpm and Insight manager for linux only came in rpm .. Does anyone in this community successed to have installed Insight Manager on non-rpm linux systems and would like to guide me ?

Sorry for my english.

Regards,

Hi kk,

I have no much skills in gentoo linux, but I'm sure you can first install the RPM-Software and in next step with normal rpm command the insight Manager.

I did it in an Debian installation.

You should be able to

# emerge sync
# emerge -s "rpm"
# emerge -p rpm
# emerge rpm

OR

# emerge sync
# emerge -p rpm2targz
# emerge rpm2targz

Either way, you can install an rpm on a Gentoo box. Either directly, or convert the rpm to a tar file and install from that.

Hope this helps.
