You can download a whole bunch of files into a directory, and then to install them do "urpmi *.rpm" and that will install all of them or list dependencies that you don't have covered.

RE: [newbie] update packages
Title: RE: [newbie] update packages I use a directory 'in/RPM' in my home directory to store incomming RPMs. I've added a source in 'Software Sources Manager': Type of sourece: Local Path: /home/msabin/in/RPM Then when I run 'Install Software' I choose to see packages "by repository" and there are my uninstalled downloads waiting to go. Is there a more elegant way? I came up with this scheme while in a hurry, and never bothered to work out another method. --Matthew -Original Message- From: Marco Verheul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 9:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] update packages Hi, I downloaded the latest Evolution form Tekstar and i want to update my current version withthe new rpm.

And I did not forget to update that particular source either.

[newbie] update packages
Hi, I downloaded the latest Evolution form Tekstar and i want to update my current version withthe new rpm. It's in my download directory that is known as one of the sources in the Software Sources Manager (Mandrake Control Center). When I choose to update software it seems that only available updates from a mirror site are shown, not the sources on my own machine. How can i update using my downloaded rpm's?
