I guess I jumped to (incorrect) conclusions without reading the whole thing. I think the context where I first saw those words was about using local resources to _resolve_ dependencies. (So) I misinterpreted the /localinstall/ and /set of local rpm files/ terms without paying attention to the real meaning of the sentence. </rationalization> So is rpm -aid ./XXX.rpm equivalent to yum localinstall ./XXX.rpm Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
