I thought it did do the same thing, but it is less ambiguous to
specifically state that the rpm you look for is the extension.
ie *.rpm means anything with the extension rpm
*rpm means anything with rpm at the end which would also include a
file called thisisafilerpm

Why the period is needed between the * and rpm I do not know
(*.rpm). I just know that it works.
To select all the files in the directory with the extention .rpm ?
Cheers,

Then why doesn't *rpm do the same thing?
