Greetings Borg

We used to have a Borg Qube at Cobalt

Telnet or preferably ssh into your Qube and either do a wget
rpmlocation/rpmname to get the rpm onto your qube or ftp it to the qube.

Before you do an installing do an rpm-qa |grep python to see if anything is
already installed I can't remember on the Qube what is installed by default

Once there type su and then enter your password to become root and then type
rpm -i rpmname and it should install the only complication you might have
and it will fail with warnings is if the rpm has any dependencies that are
not already installed on the Qube.
