Automatic install after building a package is unlikely, but maybe one<br>
day there will be an option to browse the /tmp directory and install<br>
pkgs it finds in there. Not sure, though.<br><br>alias lsg='ls | grep'<br><br>al@AB60R:~$ lsg cups<br>cups-1.2.11-i486-1.tgz<br><br>(given if cups had just been built and now is to be installed) (in konsole I can then copy and paste that pkg name)<br>
<br>(in bash the up arrow key brings back up the most recent command)<br><br>root@AB60R:~# sbopkg some option<br><br>quickly backspace on that, reduces it to sbopkg<br><br>root@AB60R:~# sbopkginst cups-1.2.11-i486-1.tgz<br>
<br>(then, add, type in only the letters inst then paste the cups pkg after -- now, strike enter key and it installs)<br><br>not forget to create an alias in the .bashrc file, thus:<br><br>alias sbopkginst='installpkg'<br>
<br>(now, both (either of the two) works to get a pkg installed, not just the "installpkg")<br><br>(also an "lsg" alias if want to shortcut the ls and the grepping).<br><br>-- <br>Alan.<br><br>
