Nice, featurelist above. I miss a small feature too: If I'd like to install a rpm from say: http://testserver.com/path/to/smart-mandrake-stuff/filename.mdk.rpm I can do this: rpm -ivh http://testserver.com/path/to/smart-mandrake-stuff/filename.mdk.rpm And rpm will download it and install it, but if it has some dependencises it wil fail and i'll have to do this: wget http://testserver.com/path/to/smart-mandrake-stuff/filename.mdk.rpm urpmi ./filename.mdk.rpm The smart soloution would be to be able to do this: urpmi http://testserver.com/path/to/smart-mandrake-stuff/filename.mdk.rpm And it would install the file solving the dependencies as usual. thanks. -- Jesper Krogh, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
