I have already done that, i was trying to install from both the
directories on a CD-ROM (/mnt/cdrom/blah/blah) and my /tmp dir. And the
bar did not move either time. So i have to use the 'rpm -i package.rpm'
method. Could there be another explanation? Does it matter that my /tmp
dir is physically a different hard drive than the rest of my linux
install?
