[olug] question downloading packages

Sat Nov 9 03:23:51 UTC 2002

I'm a newbie to Linux I am trying to use rpm to load gnomesword in my
RedHat 8.0 system. This is my first foray in to rpm. I have a msg saying
I need to load libsword.so.1  and I also found I need to load
sword-1.5.3 as well.  Is this a normal situation when loading and
installing packages with Linux? Do I download all these packages then
install each of them in turn?
