You have been advised not to. > One doubt.. If I install an RPM manually, and later when I run "yum update", won't it recognize the package and update it (if updates are available from the standard repos)? I've installed some rpm packages manually, sometimes because I wanted to test something before it hit the official repos. I've never observed any inconsistency problems while doing so. I was under the impression that the 'rpm' command will also update the yum databases so everything will work fine. Am I wrong here? -- Regards, Syam [email protected]
