Exactly -ivh was better, from my perspective since just giving me the Prompt back doesn't say that I installed it and all is OK. at least not yet.
Thanks Mark, and Thanks to SuSE the install was easier than I would have thought. Plus, I have kept away from Red Hat because of the issues with the OCO builds.

This is all working great. I still need to do the same with gzip on the 31-bit side, but I need to determine the actual install command for RPM first, since I used YaST to do the installs on SUSE64, and YaST isn't working/starting up correctly without gzip.

In fact, I would run RPM against the originals to make sure they were corrupted in the first place. If they were, fine, but if they weren't then there would seem to be a problem with the RPM itself, and not your copy of it.

Now on the 31-bit SuSE I can not run YaST because it can't find gzip. Is it ok to use the RPM command to retrieve the needed files to complete the down load. \|/ (. .)
