I, too, often download RPM's directly -- into my $HOME/RPMS directory. >From there, as su-to-root, I # urpmi file1.rpm file2.rpm ..... fileX.rpm urpmi will 'helpfully' tell me what dependencies are missing, and I then find and download the 'next' RPM into my $HOME/RPMS and append it to my # urpmi file1.rpm file2.rpm ..... fileX.rpm command in the command buffer and try, try again. :-) HTH Jonesy -- | Marvin L Jones | jonz | W3DHJ | linux | Gunnison, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | OS/2 __ | 7,703' -- 2,345m | config.com | DM68mn SK
