RE: [cobalt-users] RPM still not working - Please Help!

["Sean Fay" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm still getting that error message:
sh: rpm: command not found

How can I get the rpm program installed if rpm doesn't work?

If you actually did uninstall rpm you can get it at
ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/products/raq3/RPMS/rpm-3.02-6.0.i386.rpm
Theres also one for the Raq2 in /raq2/RPMS

Yes, I was logged in as root and I thought I was using the correct switch to
uninstall.

rpm -e nameofprogram

I had searched past examples from the discussion list and I guess somehow I
uninstalled
the actually RPM program? I have 3 RaQ2s to pull from if I need to yank
binaries. I'm
just lost as to how to fix it and/or reinstall the binaries.

Is this fixable?
