Install or upgrade the Fedora Core 4.0 package online with apt + synaptic

APT is a lightweight software package management system for online installation and upgrade, and synaptic is a graphical apt software package management tool. All software packages capable of managing the Fedora Core 4.0 system and upgrading the source. It is an extremely convenient software package management tool. The best combination of the two is the best, and most suitable for cainiao who do not know anything about it; some of my colleagues may have introduced this software. I also share my experience with you. I want to write a one-step document for new students. I 'd better know nothing about Linux, it can also be OK all the way. For how to use yum for updates, see fedora/RedHat online installation and update package, yum

Done.

B)Remove the software package;[Root @ localhost beinan] # apt-Get remove package name
Example:
[Root @ localhost beinan] # apt-Get remove Firefox
C)Comprehensive system upgrade;[Root @ localhost beinan] # apt-Get upgrade
[Root @ localhost beinan] # apt-Get dist-upgrade functions are similar;

D)Common Parameter options;

[Root @ localhost beinan] # apt-Get install-y package name for example: [root @ localhost beinan] # apt-Get install-y GaimNote:If the package is accidentally downloaded and installed, you can use the-y parameter to continue the download and installation. For example, if GAIM is downloaded to 10%, you can use the following command to download and install or upgrade the package;

[Root @ localhost beinan] # apt-Get install-D package name for example: [root @ localhost beinan] # apt-Get install-dNote:Download the software package. If you do not understand the package or install it, the directory downloaded to the local machine is/var/Cache/APT/archives.3]ClearApt-GetDownloaded package and unfinished package;[Root @ localhost beinan] # apt-Get clean
Packages downloaded through apt-Get are stored in the/var/Cache/APT/archives directory. Sometimes we interrupt some packages that are being apt-Get and such packages are not completely downloaded; we can also clean it up; we can also continue to download and install it, or we can clean it up; in this way, Apt-Get clean deletes all downloaded packages in the/var/Cache/APT/archives directory; the uncompleted packages downloaded will also be cleared. It is useful to use the/var/Cache/APT/archives/partial/function, because apt-get downloads and installation are huge and should be cleared regularly;
II,SynapticInstallation and usage;Compared with the command line operations of APT-Get, synaptic operations are extremely simple; synaptic operations are all visualized by clicking the mouse; I don't have to wait for cainiao to know what the principle is or is not working, the principle is that we will know it early, late, and late. This is a time process; but we have to install the things we want to install. Fortunately, linuxsir. org irrigation ah, haha;

Suggestion:New users do not need to upgrade the system on a large scale. First, install and upgrade a few packages you want to use, such as xmms. If you are familiar with it, we can upgrade and install the system on a large scale, but it is better not to do this. After all, graphical tools sometimes crash. Therefore, small batches are better;
