I needed to install the following packages to get the firmware tools
installed with "extract", however not all the dependencies are present
on the dell repo, as well as you can see the package doesn't seem to
find the "extract" tools.

 

 

[root at cedtv ~]# firmwaretool

Config Error: Plugin "extract_cmd" cannot be found.

 

 

Installing:

 python-setuptools       noarch     0.6c7-1.el5      dell-software
485 k

Installing for dependencies:

 python-devel            x86_64     2.4.3-19.el5     base
3.0 M

 

 

[root at cedtv dell]# ll
