yes, smart can install from a local file: smart install /path/to/file.rpm and you can create a local repro by putting the rpm files into a central directory and then running "createrepo ." in that directory. You then add a channel to smart: [<logname>] type = rpm-md baseurl = /path/to/<central-directory> I have done both: [pat] type = rpm-md baseurl = /home/pat/Desktop/Downloads you can get help via: smart --help man smart -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
