    Hi venki251!

    Welcome to the forums

    This its what I would do in my case:

    1) Make sure my installation was a success by getting a "Successful Installation" report at the end.
    2) Get a complete system update using an internet cable. Making sure I also get a "Update Success" report at the end.
    3) Use my system and try out all softwares if they would function perfectly well. I would be starting with my Wireless, then my multimedia (totem,vlc etc.). And perhaps play around with the CLI and try to install some things using CLI aside from GUI.

    I can only get to know if my system is A-OK if everything works as I use them.

    I would skip the massive system update. If you don't get the 'Update Success', your system may be simply down and you'll be installing the whole thing again. Selective update is my preference. Just an opinion !
    0 + 1 = 1 != 2 <> 3 != 4 ...
    Until the camel can pass though the eye of the needle.

    Can you explain why you need to do this?

    In other words, can you explain why you think your system isn't installed completely and correctly, and what drivers it is that you think you might be missing?

    Helping you would probably be easier if the matter can be approached from that angle.

    I assume you are trying to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux? In any caes, which distribution+version are you trying to install?

    Thank you for your reply
    It's was explained in your other thread already that apt-get is a command used with Debian based distributions for installing .DEB packages. Red Hat based distributions generally use YUM for installing .RPM packages.

    You can check these links for some info on using YUM with Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, or other Red Hat based distributions:
