Lightbulb Red Hat / Fedora / CentOS Linux Install and USe banner command
Hello All.,,
am trying to write a cool text by using the command "banner"
but the system cannot find the file!
can anyone upload this file for me please?

here is my linux version:-

Linux handlin.pet.ac.il 2.6.25.6-27.fc8 #1 SMP Fri Jun 13 16:38:52 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


here what i get when i type "banner Hello" :-
bash: banner: command not found

as i know the command banner is placed in "/usr/games"
it seems that the file does not exist either was deleted or renamed!

so if anyone can upload the file banner that i can wget and run it.

thanks so much.

Thread moved to Redhat / fedora Linux forum.

You can download banner rpm from following location:

Classic-style banner program similar to the one found in Solaris or AIX.
The banner program prints a short string to the console in very large
letters.
Download and install it from :

RPM resource banner

banner-1.3.1-5.fc8.i386 RPM

If you cannot install, then just extract it by running following command on .rpm file:
Code:
rpm2cpio banner-1.3.1-5.fc8.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv
cd usr/bin/
./banner
