apt-get for RH 6.2 - was Re: [plug] WASP?

[Steve Grasso]

Bret,

You're missing the point.
Your previous post(s) suggests that you want dig for your Red Hat system.
I told you the package you need (bind-utils).
Go to rpmfind.net and get it.
As the root user, rpm -ivh bind-utils-8.2.3-0.6.x.i386.rpm
Use man dig to learn how to use it.

Regards,
Steve
