Hi Zarrir,

there is no webmin.pkg, but latest version (0.85) provides an easy install
from rpm. Webmin has been tested against many Linux versions and especially
for RedHat. It will recognize that you're running cobalt os 5.

I've used webmin now for 8 months on a raq 3. And had never any problems!

How to get:

1) telnet (ssh) in as admin, change to root:

[admin @raq]# su -
[admin @raq]# Password:

2) get some temporary download directory, /usr/local/src/, e.g.:

[root @root]# mkdir /usr/local/src/
[root @root]# cd /usr/local/src/

3) download webmin rpm from your command line:

[root @src]# wget ftp://ftp.webmin.com/pub/webadmin/rpm/webmin-0.85.rpm
.......... ............ ............ .........


4) install webmin:

[root @src]# rpm -i ./webmin-0.85.rpm

5) You will be prompted to follow further instructions.

6) Access webmin with your browser and your root (/admin) password:
http://www.yourdomain.com:10000

7) Have fun. (You can now remove the downloaded rpm in /usr/local/src/ if
you like)

Regards,

Hendrik.
