== Investigation 2: How do you install and remove software with RPM? ==
# Use the graphical file manager (Nautilus) to change to the directory on your Installation DVD. Go to the sub-directory called '''Packages''' and then go to the sub-directory '''l''' (for files beginning with the letter l like the '''lynx''' package). You should see a file called: <code>lynx-2.8.7-8.fc17fc19.x86_64.rpm</code># Execute the following command: <code>rpm -i lynx-2.8.7-8.fc17fc19.x86_64.rpm</code>
# Issue an RPM query to check that lynx is installed. Record this command in your lab log-book.
# Issue the following command: <code>rpm -e lynx</code>
# Issue an RPM query to verify that lynx is no longer installed. Record this command in your lab log-book.
# Move to the appropriate sub-directory for packages that begin with the letter '''b'''.
# Issue the following command: <code>rpm -i BackupPC-3.2.1-7.fc17fc19.x86_64.rpm</code> and note the result
