[rhn-users] RPM doesn't work!

[Mureika, Jonas]

I just received my brand new Dell Precision 470 workstation with RH WS 3.0 installed -- and RPM doesn't work either from the command line or the GUI package install program.  The process simply hangs and I can't even Ctrl-C it (have to use kill -9!).

Has anyone else had this problem, or can someone offer a solution?  It's very frustrating, as I feel that I may have received a bad OS install.  Thanks.
