Linux experts, I'm setting up a virtual server at Amazon EC2, and noticed that the instance of Fedora Core 8 I created does not have any shells installed in /bin except for sh and bash. No csh, tcsh, ksh, zsh, etc. Does this seem odd to you? I've never used a Unix/Linux box where csh was not installed. What else might be missing? So far, it seems to have everything else I've looked for: awk, sed, perl, grep, more, less, find, etc. In any case, any advice on installing tcsh on Fedora? Where do I get the RPM package? I've used RPM before to install packages, to check which packages are installed, to check which package had previously installed a specific file, etc. But, how can I find out what packages are on the server, not yet installed? Is there a convention? Or a query I can do? Or do I just have to go to some external repository to see what's available?
