Red Hat 7.1 has some chess game?

There are definitely chess games that will run on Linux.

Look for gnuchess and xboard...they come with redhat.

If you didn't install them, just get the rpms from the CD and

rpm -Uvh <rpm filename>

Good chessing...

What command I have to use for installation from CD?
Thanks a lot

Inside X, put the CD into the drive....
If it automounts and a Windows appears just use that to look for the rpms gnuchess-4.0.pl80-6.i386.rpm and
xboard-4.1.0-1.i386.rpm, click(double-click) on them and the gui with package manager should help you take
care of the rest....

If no windows appears, open a shell window. Type:

su - (enter root password)
mount /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
rpm -Uvh gnuchess-4.0.pl80-6.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh xboard-4.1.0-1.i386.rpm
cd
umount /mnt/cdrom


Note that I assuming that all the dependencies are resolved...

Why you do unmount...WHy just leave it alone?

If don't unmount the CD, it won't let take the CD out from the drive...well next time
you reboot you should be able to take it out because by default RH doesn't automount
cd-roms on boot...
