rpm -Uvh *.rpm should do it. Don't use --nodeps unless you really know what you're doing, because it will ignore all dependancy problem. If rpm -Uvh gives you dependency error, than you need to resolve that. Otherwise, likely you'll break something (if you're forcing it using --nodeps). RDB -- Reuben D.
