Genius mate, It worked! I had tried the whole package name when I used '-e' but it did not seem to make much difference. However, using your wildcard idea seems to have worked. A pause then the command line again. Put it your multi rpm line and it kicked in and loaded beautifully. Seems to be working, so now I can get horribly confused with setting up the database. Steep learning curve, but really interesting. Thanks again for you help.
