Sometimes ./configure, make and make install just don't work. In that case, you should read the README or INSTALL file to find out how to install it.

Only with Pardus comes a new package system called PiSi and of course it's command line options are different. You can find some of most usefull commands with their descriptions below:

To install a package from repository

To install a package from a directory

To remove a package

To make a pisi from source files(pspec.xml and actions.py)

To add a repository

To update a repository

To remove a repository

To list repositories

To get an information on a specific package

If you couldn't manage to configure xorg.conf with "nvidia-xconfig" command, you can do it this way:
Press Alt+F2 key combination and write

Then, xorg.conf file will open. Find the "Section Device" section and change "nv" to "nvidia" and if "RenderAccel" line is "false", change it to "true". Then save the file and re-start the X by pressing "Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace" key combination.
That's it.

By giving the command "nvidia-xconfig" at end of the process, you already do configuration. So, it's not necessary to configure anything manually.

Feedback collects various information (i.e level of satisfaction, hardware, feature ideas, etc) from Pardus users and sends these to developers in order to foster Pardus development and maintain a healthy user experience.

YALI (Yet Another Linux Installer) is the first Pardus software a user encounters.
Basically, it recognizes the hardware and installs Pardus software from the installation media (i.e CD) to a hard disk partition user selects.
It has a high performance compared to other installers and we believe that YALI is the fastest graphical Linux installer on earth, thanks to PiSi package management system.

PiSi (Packages Installed Successfully, as Intended) (pronounced pee-see) is the package management system of Pardus.
It is the tool that installs, upgrades and removes the software packages successfully, as intended.
PiSi stores and handles the dependencies for the other packages, libraries and COMAR tasks. You may install and use software without being aware of the underlying technical details, not even the name of the application.
Tasks such as opening a new file type or serving web pages are just a click away with PiSi.

Some distinctive features of PiSi are the following:

    * Implemented in Python
    * Efficient and small
    * Package sources are written in XML and Python
    * Fast database access implemented with Berkeley DB
    * Integrates low-level and high-level package operations (dependency resolution)
    * Framework approach to build applications and tools upon
    * Comprehensive CLI and a user-friendly Qt GUI (distributed separately)
    * Extremely simple and fast package construction

    * How PiSi handles dependency: Dependency resolution in package management systems have a significance in that they are the key to providing system stability and internet upgrades. This document shows how PiSi resolves dependency problems.
    * PiSi packages version policy v0.2: This document explains the version policy that applies to PiSi packages.
