Thanks for the help. I copied them to my home directory but they still
wouldn't install. So I clicked on them one by one and installed them. I had to
check the copy over file option in Kpackage. Most everything installed. Is
there an easier way to do the updates? Will the same packages be listed the
next time I update or will it know what I have? Again thanks for all the help
that I recieve from this great list.

Luckily, all of the files that you downloaded are still available in /tmp.
They'll be the ones that end with .rpm.
Login as root, and copy those files to your home directory:
cp /tmp/*.rpm /root/.
Then install them:
cd ~
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
If you still get errors, post 'em. We're glad to help!
